Europe's heat wave shatters temperature records and cities are struggling to cope

We know from the fossil record that it has been both much cooler and much warmer.

Earth is about 4.5 billions year old. Reliable temperature recordings made by man are about 100 years old. There are many estimates of local temperatures made by of geological samplings of selected locations. So, over 99.9999978% of Earth time, no one knows for certain what our temperatures have been.

I'd read stuff about it...I gather its pretty bad, however, having been exposed to as much atmospheric physics as I have, plus all I'd read in really serious climate change literature, I'm obv by no means surprised, certainly, by any means....
