The summer of temperature extremes just keeps going with record heat waves this month on all four continents that occupy the non tropical Northern Hemisphere.
Scientists have been warning that heat waves are a consequence of warming the planet through greenhouse gas emissions.
"The impacts of climate change are no longer subtle" said Michael Mann Director of the Earth Science Center at Penn State University.
"We are seeing the impacts play out in real time in the form of unprecedented heat waves, floods and wildfires."
An exceptional stretch of heat in Dallas - Fort Worth has brought four consecutive days with record highs hitting 108 or 109 F each day (42-43 C).
July has seen 41 heat records set across the US but zero record minimums.
This lopsided tally has become the norm as climate change has tipped the scales far in the direction of warmer temperatures.
2018 is the hottest La Nina year on record according to the World Meteorological Assoc. and with La Nina fading away and El Nino likely to take its place, things are only going to get hotter.

I live in Alaska. we haven't had an "Alaskan winter" since about 2012. 2 winters ago it snowed 2 times all winter. Summers have been about the same as normal, but winters just keep being cold with limited snow.
The smoke from California wildfires is spreading 3,000 miles to reach New York state.

This is not the first time this has happened but the USA keeps getting hot-er and hot-er.
5 straight days Dallas Fort Worth average 43C. Ouch! That's hot!
On a positive note El Nino, seems less likely to spawn massive destructive hurricanes this year into the Caribbean and southern USA this year.
That's good news. Imagine another destructive hurricane season. We need a break... lol
Carbon dioxide has risen to its highest level in 800,000 years, well beyond the natural range of variation," The carbon that scientists have found in the atmosphere has a unique chemical signature, different from the carbon that comes from volcanoes or plants.
"We have quantified the carbon pollution to cars, power plants and deforestation. We have found that human activities pump nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year but growing forests and ocean waters only absorb five billions tons a year."

Re. CO2
The Japanese company's will have to try again to release their hydrogen ICE motor, soon we hope.
There is absolutely no reason to burn fossil fuels at all....
Here in Australia there is a national boycott ready to happen where people are set to boycott fuel/gas stations in protest of the skyrocket fuel prices at bowser.
60,000 people have signed the partition so far, and are ready to buy fuel from one fuel company only every week/month. The people will have their say and literally break the fuel company's where it hurts the most "at their wallets".
When there is only one fuel company left, watch the nation wide protest rallies for hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen ICE motors...
Alt-clean energy systems are going to happen in the future any way, regardless.

I wonder if Geo-engineering, is helping or worsening the situation? I listen to science Friday with Ira Flatow, Science Friday, and he hosted a show where they were talking to a guest, who is a Geo-engineer/scientist, about experimenting with chemicals that they disperse from airplanes, to reflect back some of the solar radiation, to in turn lower earth's temperatures. However, IMHO... I think this form of experimentation could have more consequences, than advantages, long term.
Re Spraying chemicals from the wing tips of commercial aircraft.
Absolutely great idea...NOT!
Why not spray Ebola, Hep-C, Meningococcal, Meningitis and god knows how many other virus in the chemical spray while they are at it???
Hey!! if they can fix the human population problem then the environmental problem will disappear also.
There is some seriously flawed logic in their so called justified reasoning?
Spraying chemicals from air craft to solve the pollution problem of (shall we say) "solar absorption" is equivalent to people throwing stones at the ocean to hold back the incoming tide. Seriously how many band aides can science place on an open wound?
From an authoritive/control faction point of view:
Look! here is some money!. Throw and add on TV, tell people Santa Claus is bring free gifts that will solve the Earths pollution problem, and for everyone to forget about the earth pollution problem and go back to sleep. Any one that believes smog pollution over cities is normal needs a stiff upper-cut to the chin to be brought back to reality. There is a solar absorption problem, and there needs to be a full world wide attention placed on the industrial situations an address the critical issues. There is enough crowd sourcing and crowd funding to bypass any greedy financial control institutions and direct funds into critical alt-energy industries.
just the usual 5 cents worth....
