June was the 14th straight record hot month, with Earth averaging 16.4 C (61.52 F). That is 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.62 degrees F) warmer than average and a shade above the record set in 2015. The last month Earth wasn't record hot was April 2015.
Yup......Its amazing the winters are still AS COLD AS THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!
Our friends in alaska still see -20F or more every winter in some parts of the state!!
Your friends aren't paying attention then....
The Alaska April temperature was record high at 33.3°F, 10.0°F above the 1925-2000 average and 0.4°F warmer than the previous record set in 1940. Record warmth was observed across the southern parts of the state with much-above-average temperatures for central and northern Alaska. Temperatures more than 12°F above average were observed across western parts of the state. Anchorage had its warmest April on record with a temperature of 43.5°F, 2.8°F warmer than the previous record set just last year. Parts of the Yukon River observed the earliest ice break up on record and Fairbanks observed a record-early 'green up', or start of the vegetation growing season. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/201604
Yes it is...as it has for billions of years...cycling between ice ages and tropical ages...
Those changes took place over millions and billions of years due to changes in the earths orbit, no one is arguing that it hasn't been both warmer and colder in the past. Do you think the earths orbit caused this increase in the last 100 years?
I don't understand how anyone can ignore the record setting temperatures posted by the OP but here we are with the usual answers.
Maybe an ice age will hit us and reset everything....
I have news for you....We are still in an ice age called the Quaternary glaciation.
