Soaring Global Heat Records Set!

During the first week of July 2018, the Northern Hemisphere recorded its hottest weather ever.

Greetings! Unfortunately, once again I bring you some more sobering news of global warming, and climate change as numerous worldwide heat records were recently set. During the first week of July 2018, the Northern Hemisphere recorded its hottest weather ever. Nick Humphrey, meteorologist said, “In Northern Siberia, along the coast of the Arctic Ocean – where weather observations are scarce – model analyses showed temperatures soaring 40 degrees above normal on July 5th, to over 90 degrees. It is absolutely incredible and really one of the most intense heat events I’ve ever seen for so far north.”

Clearly, no single new heat record on its own can be attributed to global warming. However, “collectively, these heat records are very consistent with the kind of extremes we expect to see increase in a warming world.” Take a look at these new sizzling heat records for 2018 …
