NOAA Data Show July 2021 was Earth’s Hottest Month Ever Recorded

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has just declared July 2021 the world’s hottest month in the 142 years that records have been kept. In fact, the combined land and ocean surface temperature this July was a full 1.67 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average.

No kidding? I was wondering why just about everything on Earth seemed to be on fire. Not being a scientist, I just assumed one of those “Disco Infernos” from the late 1970s, may have caught fire. Of course, Republicans are quick to point out that “when the Earth was condensing from molten rock, it was actually a lot hotter - so this current warming trend is nothing but small potatoes.” Now, while they do kinda have a point, perhaps we should wait until Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani chime in - before we make any important decisions on the matter.

Also, what an odd coincidence that all the same people who believe “the coronavirus is a hoax, the Jan 6th insurrection was actually Black Lives Matter members posing as white Trump supporters, that vaccinations have 5G microchips in them, and Trump won the 2020 presidential election” - are the very same folks who reject the dire warnings of the world’s foremost climate scientists. Now, the Republican’s take on all this is basically “what’s the big deal anyway? If it gets too hot, just adjust your air conditioner’s thermostat down a few degrees!”

Look at it this way, while this may very well be the hottest July we’ve ever had, if global warming continues accelerating at its current pace - it may also be the “coldest July” you’ll experience for the rest of your life -so dress warm! Now, I’ve always assumed Republican leaders would “roast in Hell” for prioritizing profits over human life, but it appears I was wrong - because they’re actually “roasting” right now. The problem is, the rest of us are stuck roasting - right along with them.
