It gets hot in the summer. Who knew? From Katie Spence at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
“Extreme,” “hellish,” “broiling,” and “deadly.” These words, and then some, are being used by politicians and media to describe the summer temperatures sweeping the nation.
“The hottest month just ended. We witnessed scorching heat, extreme weather events, wildfires, and severe health consequences,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to address climate change. Let’s use this alarming milestone to fuel our determination for bold climate action. Together, we can turn up the heat on sustainable solutions and create a cooler, more resilient world for generations to come.”
Myron Ebell, director and senior fellow at the Center for Energy & Environment, said that while June and July were hot in many locations, other places experienced below-average temperatures. Los Angeles for example, experienced its 10th coolest June on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Well, here on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, we have had one of the coolest summers I can remember (I have been spending my summers here since the age of 5 months). Even with the “wild” fires which all just “happened” to start at the same moment according to satelite images from Dupage College in Illinois.
