Hottest day ever.

Until next year.

With how cyclical heat seems to be, probably the hottest year until ~4 years from now.

Just long enough for sceptics to dismiss it again, because any day without high heat means climate change is fake.

According to this informative video about the "super El Niño" we're heading into, next year is going to be worse. Less easily dismissed, not that it'll help. If we get any kind of extreme weather this winter before next year's even hotter summer, that'll be fodder for them, too. As we all know, anytime it snows, that proves climate change is a myth. 🙄

Yay, more heat. Looking forward to my skin melting off soon.

Nothing so extreme as that. You will literally bake to death before you melt, so don't worry about that! Cheers.
