Sick of hearing about record heat? It's the story of a warming world - Levin - 23-07-2023

......
With a summer of extreme weather records dominating the news, meteorologists and scientists say records like these give a glimpse of the big picture: a warming planet caused by climate change.
......
In the past 30 days, nearly 5,000 heat and rainfall records have been broken or tied in the U.S. and more than 10,000 records set globally, according to NOAA. Texas cities and towns alone have set 369 daily high temperature records since June 1.
......
The larger the geographic area and the longer stretch of time during which records are set, the more likely the conditions represent climate change rather than daily weather. So the hottest global June is “extremely unlikely” to happen without climate change, as opposed to one city’s daily record
......
Weather won’t worsen each year and that should not become a common expectation, but it will intensify over the long run

Er, the ice in Antarctic is at record low this year. Last year was also a record low but this year broke last year's record.
