2022 heat wave has people reminiscing about the iconic 'I Survived the 1980 Texas Heat Wave' shirt

"You'd walk outside and it was like an assault on your entire being," said former WFAA weather anchor Steve Newman.

I remember that shirt! Was living in Eastland County. We didn't have a/c, just a Swamp cooler. In laws had moved down for work and had a tiny newborn. Just miserable for them. They didn't last long. TX summer sent them packing back to Michigan 😄

Wait? What? This happened before? But, but,… CLIMATE CHANGE!!?

[@peachxtaehyung]

You know climate change has been a thing for a very long time right? If you don't believe in it look at different places average temperatures, and how theyve changed over the years

The hottest temperature here in the 8 day forecast in Beautiful Malibu California is 76 degrees.

August 12, 1936 and June 28, 1994 - 120 degrees As crazy as it sounds, there are two dates that tie for the hottest day in Texas history. The heatwave of 1994 earned the most spots on this list, but the summer of 1936 is the earliest super-hot day in history. On August 12, 1936, Fort Worth and Seymour clocked in intimidating temperatures reaching 120 degrees.

I have been telling my kids about the 1980 heat wave. Living here is becoming unbearable. Climate change is real.

Fyi no one denies that the climate changes. Biggest factor is solar activity

[@functionatthejunction]

@@-_-naab-_- "Biggest factor is solar activity" Solar activity plays virtually no factor on Earth's weather and that's a fact.

@@functionatthejunction Go back to science class . Long term solar variations have an affect on Earth's climate . It is a huge influence on this planet. It is large enough to fit 1 million earths in it

[@lindaeasley5606]

Climate change is natural . It will vary over 100s of years. It's unnatural for it to stay the same through thousands of years. There are weather related records set over 100 years ago that haven't been broken yet. If you mean global warming ,that's bunk
