NOAA says 2012 was the hottest year on record in the contiguous United States.
"The average temperature was 55.3 degrees, 1 degree above the previous
record and 3.2 degrees more than the 20th-century average. Temperatures
were above normal in every month between June 2011 and September 2012, a
16-month stretch that hasn’t occurred since the government began
keeping such records in 1895"
While the hottest year was underway, Senator James Inhofe of my home state of Oklahoma and home town of Tulsa, published his new book:
I think Inhofe should simply introduce legislation limiting temperature rise. That might hold off the drought in Oklahoma. How about a "sense of the Senate" resolution?
Perhaps he can collaborate with the North Carolina General Assembly who legislated limits to sea level rise.
If worse comes to worse for the environment, we can always retrain polar bears to hunt land animals. Just think how great it will be to have a year-round, permanent Northwest Passage.

Hey, we're almost there with the permanent ice-free passage. So everything has its upside. Tulsa may become uninhabitable, but I've never even been there so what do I care? And the upside is no more Inhofes. I'm worried, however, that the polar bear training initiative seems to be lagging.
