This is your Northwest report for Wednesday, June, 22nd. I'm David Sparks. There is nothing funny about global warming and it is not to be dismissed. There is a heat wave in the Southwest that is taking on implications that are not only serious but are demanding of our close attention. When temperatures hit triple digits day after day, dangerously oppressive results. According to CBN news.com "Temperatures broke records and soared above 115° and forecasts for Southeast California and portions of Arizona... The record 115° expected to hit 118°. We don't have earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes. Our disaster is heat. Triple digit heat in Phoenix forced some airlines to delayed incoming flights because at 120° the air is too thin to create lift."

And while things are very hot in the Southwest, it appears tensions may be cooling between Iran and the West. According to a post from my northwest.com, Boeing Co. said it has signed an agreement with Iran Air "expressing the airline's intent" to buy its aircraft — the Islamic Republic's first major deal with an American company following its landmark nuclear accord last year with world powers.
