This week, we broke that record thrice
. . .The average global air temperature recorded 2 metres above Earth’s surface was 17.18°C (62.92°F) on 4 July, the highest that has ever been recorded. The previous record was set the day before. . . .
Before that, the next highest-temperature on record was recorded jointly in August 2016 and July 2022, when average global temperatures reached 16.92°C (62.46°F). The two consecutive days of record-breaking global heat confirms scientists’ warnings that 2023 is likely to be one of the hottest years on record, as the twin effects of climate change and a warming El Nino climate pattern drive temperatures to new highs. . . .
These are facts, whether the petro-chemical and dirty coal industries condescend to believe them or not -- they remain. . . facts. Onward, into only slightly less lethal heat indices here on Wednesday. Sheesh.
