Last week, The Washington Post touched on climate change by exploring whether it was hot enough outside to cook an egg on the sidewalk. That reminded me about a similar experiment I did last summer. Just for fun as part of Fourth of July week, I’m reposting an excerpt of my blog on that experiment:
“Because PracticalESG.com emphasizes, well, practical matters at a company level, I don’t tend to write about global temperature increases. Even so, here in West Texas we are experiencing temperatures that are notable even for us. How hot you ask? In excess of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. So hot, in fact, that I actually cooked an egg in my truck! Yes, the photo above is the actual egg I put on my dash with my truck parked outside. It took a couple hours, but it cooked. This was a followup to my attempt the day before to bake a cake in my truck, which was less successful because I started too late in the day and it had to be finished off in the oven.”
In case you are wondering, no I didn’t eat that egg. This summer out here in West Texas, the temperatures are climbing close to 110 degrees haven’t reached that mark yet – 107 is the hottest I’ve seen. But that’s hot enough…
