The hottest 21 days so far!

Seriously! I give it pretty good odds this runs for a full month, then we'll probably get some relief with days that are only near record-breaking 🥵

And then the inevitable day or week or so where it's unseasonably cold before we barrel into another couple months of record breaking heat. But during those weeks I will be told innumerable times "so much for global warming! This idiots don't know anything!"

We're at the top of the curve, we're going to see record breaking temps till November, and then it's summer in Australia.

Not true. Fake news. Everyone knows that for the first few hundred million years after Earth first formed the average surface temperature was 80C (176F).

"ever recorded" - there was nobody around to record the formation of the earth.

Um in case you've been under a rock George Santos obviously kept perfect records for the last 4.5 billion years.

God did! /s

Unfortunately he isn't sharing his historical datasets sets with the wider community. :(

Also when the impactor that hit us to form the moon melted the surface of the planet I bet it was pretty toasty.

Exxon is working on it. Give it another decade.

Weren't there already some 82 C temperatures recorded at ground level already? I seem to recall a post here in the last couple of days saying that people ended up in hospital with burns and such from contact with very hot pavement.

Keep it up everyone! We're going to show Mother Nature who's really in charge.

I'll always upvote this, until The End comes

All I can picture with these posts is the SpongeBob montage when Mr Krabs decided to go 24/7 and everything looking increasingly disheveled
