Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change

[WolfStock1]

Holy moley - this thread is starting to get quite extremist, I have to say.

You folks do realize that a lot more people die of *cold* each year, than die of *heat* - right?   I don't think you really want to go where you're going.  

Let's be pragmatic here.   MMGW, while certainly an issue, is not a practical threat to human life, in any way, shape or form.   People are going to die from extreme heat waves - just as they have since the beginning of time.   As the planet warms *less* people will die (and have been dying) due to weather events, not more.

It was a surreal day in France. The air was "a furnace breath." The "heatquake" toppled, shattered, and demolished more than 100 all-time high temperature records. June 2026 has surpassed June 2019 for setting the most all-time record highs in the month of June.

Is the 33 record breakers for stations with 80+ year histories all-time records or monthly records?

Those were monthly records. 13 all-time records were broken at stations with 80+ year climate records.
