I did a search for Active Volcanoes and wow was I surprized! So many all over the world.esp this month. Is this the reason for all the heat day and night? It used to cool off at night but not now and its all of a sudden.Storms too with a lot of lightning for the past few days.I am in California.

Yeah, I've been thinking about it alot. The weather is crazy anymore! And even England with their heatwave. I'm seriously believing in the whole global warming issue.
I'll have to check out the active volcanoes, too. Greenhouse gases. Although, I'm not blaming it entirely on volcanoes.

Global warming is real, but has almost nothing to do with day to day or even season to season local weather.
As the Earth gradually heats up (about 1 degree per decade at most) We will observe greater fluctuations in the weather, but necessarily much hotter temperatures all the time.
Some summers will be hotter than average, some winters will be colder than average, but the overall trend is warmer.
Volcanic activity is well within the normal range since the eruption of Pinotubo..

It is global warming, not active volcanoes. The site below has lots of good and easy-to-understand information about why everything keeps getting hotter!
The basic reason is that because of pollution, carbon dioxide gas is building up in our atmosphere, and trapping all the heat from the sun inside. The more carbon dioxide pollution we emit, the thicker the "blanket", and the more heat is trapped instead of sent back off into space. Everything gets hotter because pollution has been steadily getting worse.

Summer + Global Warming = Hot Weather

People have been on this planet now for about 500,000 years. Recorded history is only about 7500 years long. The entire planet is roughly 4 BILLION years old.
Mathematically and stastically, theres insufficent data to support global warming OR global cooling.
However, if you believe the bible which says the earth ends in fire, and its getting hotter,,,,,,

It's summer. The problem is, each summer is getting hotter than the last. Some say it's just a natural trend. Others say it is global warming. Whatever the cause, if it doesn't reverse itself soon, we will be up a river without any water (never mind the paddle).

It's summer, guys! The weather gets hot in the summertime. We haven't had a lot of really hot summers (or a lot of really cold winters) in recent years, but sometimes they arrive when we least expect them! Before the Industrial Revolution brought us ice, refrigerators, fans, and air conditioning, people suffered through oppressive summer heat without complaining. Today's society is so soft and coddled that we can't handle unusual fluctuations in heat or cold. So we complain. I know: let's blame the government! It's all a conspiracy! -RKO-

I doubt it's because of volcanoes. It's global warming.

Every year it's the same, Summer.
When my daughter was 3 she noticed leaves falling off the trees and was shocked. She asked me what was going on. I told her that every year all the leaves fall off all the trees, she replied, 'Fat Chance, all the leaves fall off the trees, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.' Don't know where she gets it from!
