Something I quickly put together for my Facebook in early July.
-----------------
This doesn't seem to be getting much attention with much of world news focusing on the US government, however the Northern Hemisphere just experienced its record heat wave, with the highest 24 hour temperature ever recorded on the planet.
Below image is a representation of the temperatures across the globe. Oman had a record high low temperature of 42C [109F] Algeria reached 51.3C.
Siberia has been as much as 22C above normal, and could reach the mid 90sF along the Arctic Ocean.

This is stuff just from this post:
This will likely improve but there were significant areas of very poor conditions today. I ride my bike a ton, and I opted to skip it because the air quality was so poor. What you see out west isn't due to pollution, it's due to the wildfires.
Wildfires are multifactorial, and the #1 issue isn't even global warming regarding them, but there's no doubt what these continued hot and dry summers are having on them. We're actually asking for assistance from Australia for fighting these fires. Our low snowpacks, hotter dry spells, ridge building due to changes with the ocean currents, and feast/famine rainfall drives this change.
For the last year, the NOAA CPC has had above average, and only above average temperature chances predominating for the United States.

Trend of increasing water content in snow [higher indicates warmer temperatures]

I will say I am very happy that many of my conservative friends are now accepting this. I hope we're on the page to tackle it as a world crisis soon.
