Individual localized weather events can't be directly attributed to global warming, which is simply a steady increase in the average temperature of the entire planet. Global warming causes an increase in extreme weather events such as heat waves like this one, but it's impossible to say that any given heat wave is due to global warming.
You can say that on average there will be more and longer heat waves due to global warming, and that the SoCal heat wave might be worse than it otherwise would have been because of global warming, but that's about it.

when I was a teenager they used to say it was heat wave if the summer was hotter than normal and during the winter if it was exceptionally cold everyone would say we went into a deep freeze this winter now if the weather is not perfect for the time of the year the idiots claim well it has to be global warming. The only thing that has change is that logic and common sense has gone out the window.

Just summer and this is a natural weather cycle of the earth and also the sun is getting hotter. Why don't these global warming "experts" explain why Mars and the other planets are getting warmer,
because the last time I checked, there are no humans on said planets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is actually just weather... weather is not global warming.. although some different weather patterns or more severe patterns may be caused by global warming. They have always been hot out there.. (in modern times anyway).. that's not what has people worried.. what has people worried is that their type of heat could quite conceivably shift.. oh say.. to our bread basket... that would put us in a tough spot now wouldn't it......

Global Warming is not an issue to be measured in your backyard... its an issue to be measured in the glacier ice regions of the world.
Dumping fresh water into the salt water oceans cause a halting a weather driven ocean currents that caused past ice ages in history. So if you want to have another ice age, which didn't bode well for North America and Europe, keep thinking you're clever if you want to ruin a good thing because you bought the oil companies BS.

it is global warming , the question is what is causing it . Could it be a natural cycle of earth that has been recorded before? or are us humans causing the entire world to heat up? The logical explantion seems to be a natural cycle

I think the residents in the mid west would call it global flooding.

Summer,
Actually it does not even fell like summer here in Pennsylvania. I had to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt on the 4th of July.

"Global warming" is the environmentalists' new tactic to enforce pollution controls.
They tried it with Kyoto. We didn't sign it, so they had to think up a way to make it seem more dire.
Everybody is pro-pollution control. But not to the extent that it severely hurts our economy while letting countries like India and China slide.
