Climate scientists noted that while 2024 still holds the record for the single warmest day, August 2026 was the warmest month on record as a growing El Niño compounds ongoing background warming.
“August was nonetheless the warmest month on record, as a growing El Nino event adds to steady ongoing warming.”

The hottest summer in American history is no longer 1936; it is now officially 2026. #ClimateChange

First of all, my comment was a joke. Second of all, title brevity != title accuracy. Being a "headline" doesn't automatically give it a free pass to be factually inaccurate. A headline can be concise without making a claim broader than the evidence supports. For example, saying that "August was Earth’s hottest month on record" is still very…

Now that the summer peak is behind us, we can confidently conclude that 2024 will retain its title for warmest day on record, with 2023 coming in 2nd and 2026 coming in a close 3rd. August was nonetheless the warmest month on record, as a growing El Nino event adds to steady ongoing warming.

The intensifying super El Niño, combined with global warming, is favored to make 2026 the hottest year on record, with 2027 expected to be even hotter. https:// yaleclimateconnections.org/202 6/09/earth-just-had-its-hottest-august-on-record/ # Environment # Climate # Science # Yale # ClimateDiary # ClimateCrisis # Nature

Well it’s critical thinking most ppl lack. Just because the world is getting hotter doesn’t mean everyday is dreadfully hot. It’s a destabilizing of climate and weather patterns that concerning. I blame education mostly and the PR could have been better. But mainly it’s from the surge of misinformation regarding climate change that moneyed…

Messing up the environment messes up the economy. Moving slowly on climate change isn't common sense it is a sure route to a common disaster.

I had no idea who that was until now; dude's beliefs seem solid. What's your point, that you like the social contract and life schedule?

🔥 August was the joint-hottest month ever recorded. ⬇️ Climate change is here. Extreme heat, flooding, and other weather events are becoming a part of our everyday life. ⚠️ Those who reject the need for Net Zero are a danger to our security and prosperity.

Copernicus data confirms August 2026 as the hottest month in recorded history, with the strengthening El Niño a contributing factor but climate change identified as the primary cause. # science # climatechange # heatwave https://www. wired.com/story/august-2026-is -hottest-month-ever-recorded/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Posted…

Nature highlighting that emotional framing drives climate action far better than dry data alone is a vital lesson. Relying solely on cold charts while fossil fuel interests push fear and outrage fails to move the needle. Why aren't we communicating better? (1/2) 🤔 #ClimateCrisis El Niño goes viral — and scien...

Unaccounted climate feedback loops could amplify global warming by 30%, adding up to 0.4°C this century. Ignoring natural carbon emissions from thawing permafrost and wildfires in current policy overestimates our carbon budget. Why delay action? 🤔 #ClimateCrisis Climate ‘feedback loops’ could...

N.B. Bottom of chart cites the source: Data: NOAA NCEI, Climate at a Glance - contiguous U.S. June-August average temperature. Bars show each summer's departure from the 1901-2000 average of 71.4°F - red above it, blue below. Eight of the ten hottest summers on record have come since 2000.

"Climate is sometimes seen as a partisan issue, as territory in the culture wars,” he said. “That is palpably false … Climate cuts across the core concerns of voters, whatever their politics: [affecting] family health, community safety and economic stability; affordable food and available water; jobs, business costs and household bills.” Too bad…

Each year breaks another record for extreme climate events. Al Gore predicted this 20 years ago in "An Inconvenient Truth."

We should have never let Al Gore concede. Roger Stone and Brett Kavanaugh et al stole that election. We would have worked on climate change. We may have heeded the warnings about an attack using planes. The Patriot Act would not exist, and the militarized police wouldn’t be a thing.
