Apparently the 3rd of July (last Monday) we recorded the hottest average temperature across the entire world of 17.01 Centigrade, the first time since records began that the average has passed 17 degrees. Of course the climate change deniers will say so what, that's just one day but the important point is that it's part of a trend (see chart above) there are certainly climate events that alter the average from one year to the next, El Niño for example, but as time progresses it's becoming more and more obvious (if it isn't already) that there's an underlying issue and things like ice core evidence would strongly suggest, beyond reasonable doubt, that the issue is our greenhouse gas emissions. BTW the 3rd of July record has already been broken, when you ask, on the 4th of July of course!
