From the article: "A joke making the rounds: The only difference between me and barbequed meat is a little bit of cumin."

Actually, that is a glimpse into the future of China when, someday, all of their rice crop fails.

The Chinese are paying the price for deforesting their lands. Simple as that.

The Chinese can go cry a river. They ought to come to the Hill country and San Antonio-Austin Region of TX. We have enduring a period of High Triple digit heat and still are running the Trips. China is just worse as they gas there population with there pollution.

Thank God I don't live there - I can barely handle +30 (85F or so).

Wuss...we were frying in 50+ C a few weeks back and still crossing 45's in the day. High 30s in the night

Not really, I grew up in a cool climate, so that's what I'm used to. + 30 or so is about the worst it gets here in the summer - and that's typically only a for a few days. The average daily high is around +23/24 for July & August.

On the flip side, I don't even zip up my winter jacket until it hits -25 or so, as cold weather doesn't faze me one bit.
