Phones and internet down at my college due to extreme heat.

When are we going to take global warming seriously?

When the entire Amazon rain forest is burning?

When the last drop of ocean evaporates?

When, exactly?

(I know I'm preaching to the choir, here but I'm really at the end of my rope!)

And, we prepare for heat!

But temps have been near 120 the last few days, which is high even for us.

Computer banks/servers, etc, need cool cool environment.

Yikes....what happens when cities/counties/states have brown outs.?
Friend of mine sez her power company in a large city send text alerts to people's smart phones about setting home A/C thermostats at a certain temp.

Apparently people who are wise in the matters of air conditioning have stated that home A/C units can only be efficient at lowering indoor temps 20 degrees from outdoor temps.
Her outdoor temp was 105 when I talked to her a couple days ago, she sets her A/C at 85.

I have no idea how she bears that,
