and some trains in america have been halted for periods of time because the tracks are too hot. and wildfires in arizona. surely california ones increasing soon.
and babies born today will probably look back on these times as quaint and innocent
but enough about that, i heard there will be a lot of marvel movies coming out

My in-laws in Paris checked themselves into a hotel, no AC at home, and Paris managed over 42 C. Germany reached 40 C, my old workplace closed down when the AC went to shit. And my mom lives in Austria, the "cold" country, and enjoys 38 C currently. Alaska melts under record heat.
It was hot as shit in Chicago last week, too, and then I hear someone getting out of a SUV arguing with his wife that this is completely normal because hey, in 1916, that one time, it was even hotter in Chicago.
It would blow my mind if we hadn't read about this happening for 2 decades now. We deserve to die! Good thing is, we will. Well not us, of course, but millions of people who live in regions that will turn into dried out land where nothing grows any longer. And we will look the other way when millions more should migrate, because hey, not our problem that they starve. We got problems, too, not enough AC in buildings!
