I’m in Sacramento CA and it definitely is not breaking records. Normal summer temps here. But we haven’t hit the normal highs of 115 yet.

I hate when they use Death Valley as an example of global warming. Death Valley wasn't habitable to begin with.

This has already been debunked as lies...

I’ve lived in a lot of these places they reference and so I know the real truth, nothing is out of the ordinary 🙄
That picture of the outdoor thermometer reading 130 degrees, yep, I lived there. That’s normal. And I also worked outdoors in those temperatures. This lady is warping the facts and making it scary 😒

It blows my mind how the deluded of this world get the hell scared out of them when it gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. They literally want to live their live in fear. It's sad and pathetic. Many are also brainwashed into believing that if they pay a bunch of taxes to to government it will get cooler.

I live in Ireland. Monday and Tuesday this week was " nice days" no need for sunscreen. Just pleasant. Since Tuesday last week, until Monday this week, there is rain, rain and more rain. As I write this, at 13.20pm the temperature is 15c or 59f. Summer has decided to take a break from Ireland this year. It's absolutely miserable outside. We can't go to a beach, we could, but we would need to wear coats. We had a few good days in June. But since the children got their Summer holidays from school. The weather is bleak. It feels like we are in a continuous Winter or early Spring.
