What about the UK? Why we never mentioned our weather this july?

[ashcarrier]

And yet thousands of us aren't dying as a result. WTF, Europe?

Wow my home county (Bucks in Pennsylvania) made this news. It truly was horrific, it downpoured some 17 centimeters (7 inches) in under one hour, water literally had no where to go and made the roads into rivers. This summer is hell.

Lots of Russian bots here denying science and diverting. I guess the bot farm is still up and running.

The important thing to do in the midst of this climate degradation is to ignore it and pretend it is not happening, We should just come to accept that our grandchildren will hate us.

Scorching temps traditionally come every summer. Its got something to do with the giant ball of burning gas in the sky peeps

Ps, in about 20 years huge swathes of north America will be uninhabitable, but tax breaks for the rich are most important thing, i mean who needs a planet.???

There are areas in America where triple digits are normal this time of year. It's called summer. These summer are no hotter than they were 50 years ago. Stop with the fear mongering.

All the old Republicans who think climate change is a hoax. Take away their air-conditioning

[slydawgg]

Just by changing the lifestyle from suburban to western and northern European, US can achieve 50% reduction in CO2 emissions. But they would rather drive trucks and live in a single family neighborhood.

It is summer. It is always triple digit in Arizona during the summer.
