Yep, the records keep getting broken, the worlds average temperature just keeps climbing, how much longer can people deny climate change?

June was hot. Really hot. That much we knew.
What we didn’t know was just how hot it was – not just in parts of Europe, but around the world. New analysis by the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, shows that temperature records weren’t just broken for Europe – they were completely obliterated. The previous European record for June, set in 1999, was smashed to bits – not just by a fraction of a degree, but by a full 1.0℃.
It was also the hottest June the world has ever recorded, with the entire globe experiencing the warmest-ever June by 0.1℃.
Also of note is that Anchorage reached 90 degrees for the first time.
The old record for Anchorage was 85, so the record was broken by five degrees. It was 94 degrees by my house, but we're always warmer than Wasilla Airport, where the official temperature is recorded. It's really bad, because virtually no homes in Southcentral Alaska have A/C. I lucked out because my travel trailer is parked next to my house, so I turned on the A/C in it and slept out there last night.

Yea, I heard that in France only 5% of homes have A/C, and the temp. hit 114 degrees. Even worse is India, where only 2% of homes have A/C, and the temps hit over 120 degrees. I had no idea that Anchorage had never seen 90 degrees until yesterday.
Just like cold records that are broken, its weather, a temporary condition, not climate. On the other hand, its been very cold in the middle of the USA. Some parts out west have recently had snow. Az, had the coldest winter its had for many decades.
June was not a hot month where I live on Long Island. Temps were about evenly split with half above the historical average and half below. There were a couple of days that were quite warm and also quite a few very much below average.
I heard one reason for the climate change is that there is a record number of retired people nowadays passing gas.
