    We can’t disappoint the stakeholders. Next 12 months needs to be hotter.

      How do I delete the “/s” on someone else’s comment?

      P.s. You can wear that tight muscle shirt or you can just pop it off real quick. It’s your choice.

    In the late 90’s my girlfriend worked in the office for an ice core climatologist, and her job was partly to screen out the crazies on the phone. Sometimes one would get through and she’d feel really bad.

    So can someone actually explain how we know that; let’s say, exactly 116,342 years ago it wasn’t half a degree hotter on average that year?

    I get the global trends for hundreds of years to average out a general baseline of how temps were, but what is being tested or checked that say even 130 years ago the everage temp wasn’t warmer that year? It seems like this 12 months being the hottest is more like an educated and informed guess than an actual fact.

      Speak for yourself, my friend’s AC broke in June and had to sleep in a 35°C room for weeks. Even the coldest water coming from his shower was high 20s.

        My AC broke in June, too, and it was pretty easy. Took about 3 weeks to fix, but my house of 7 managed.

        Idk why his AC affected his shower. That’s weird

        Good thing too, because my furnace also had a crack in it, and needed a full replacement.

        Sucks being out 20k but yay for not dying in our sleep.

          Because it was so hot outside the water lines supplying cold water also heated up.

            That’s probably why it was a lot easier for us. We’d just take colder showers and generally hang outside until night.

            I didn’t even know that could happen. Where was this? That’s wild.
