Global Warming * USA - It means Hot Ride on School Buses, but... without A/C ??
"Man, it gets really hot sometimes on the bus. I'm talking really, really hot," said Brad Hughes, an eighth-grader... Clarksville,TN,USA -The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle, by ANN WALLACE -13 Aug 2007: -- The wheels of the buses may be going round and round, but none of the buses could be described as a cool ride... Opening schools in early August allows a weeklong fall break in October, but that jump start coincides with some of the hottest days of summer... That leaves local students sitting on buses two and three to a seat in temperatures pushing three digits — without air conditioning... Air conditioning would cost $1.7M... (Photo: Greg Williamson/The Leaf-Chronicle: Students wait in a bus to unload for school. Buses have no air conditioning, and with extreme heat conditions, students can expect a hot ride. The white ceilings help cool the buses by about 10 degrees, though)
