Global Warming Responsible for Higher Temperature

Beaumont, TX

A recent study from Environmental Science Department at Lamar University in east Texas has reached an inescapable conclusion, the higher temperatures occurring across the planet, from Washington DC to Bangaldesh, Inda, are a direct result of Global Warming. This three year study was the brainchild of department head Dr. Chris Knauth, who has dedicated his research to solving this phenomenon.


"We found in our analysis of temperature readings across the globe, that temperatures tend to rise significantly from May to September, and then recede back to cooler temperatures from October through April", noted Dr. Knauth. "When this trend happened the first year, I assumed it was an anamoly; however, our research shows these same patterns occuring the next three years. This shows how the world's dependence on fossil fuels is drastically affecting our climate, and not just on a gradual scale. Temperatures in our part of Texas averaged 65 degrees in the months of October - April, but by May were already exceeding 90 degrees. At certain times during July and August, the average daily temperature was 98.7!"exclaimed an excited, twittery Knauth.


Dr. Knauth's team of research scientists have analyzed the temperatures for the last two decades and have determined that the three years of the study were just the tip of the iceberg. "Each year, since 1965, this trend has continued, and clearly there are forces on the environment we just don't fully comprehend. " Part of the confusion, he confesses is due the "reverse" effect for those areas below the equator.


"We think this has something to do with the atmospheric drift of environmental pollutions from the more developed, urban countries in the Northern Hemisphere. We currently have a team analyzing the patterns of El Nino, and assessing how this plays a part in the recurring shift in temperatures. I'm excited about confirming my theory, but a little worried for our future."
