(CNN) - It’s so hot across the globe, roads and roofs are melting.
The deadly heat waves of the last week have sparked strange infrastructural events around the world as millions endure searing temperatures that are still on the rise.
The heat-related events also speak to aging infrastructures worldwide, most of which – roads, bridges, railroads, buildings – are not prepared for the sweltering conditions as of late.
So how hot has it been, exactly? Well…
It’s so hot, the runway at a London airport melted
The United Kingdom saw its hottest day on record Tuesday, when temperatures breached 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
It’s been so hot that a runway at London Luton Airport on the capital’s outskirts had to be closed off as it melted in the heat.
“Flights are temporarily suspended to allow for an essential runway repair after high surface temperatures caused a small section to lift,” the airport tweeted Monday.
Heat causes materials to expand and crack when temperatures rise, according to the Pennsylvania State University College of Engineering – concrete and asphalt, found on runways and roads, are no exception.
It’s so hot, a museum roof melted in China
A heat wave has now engulfed half of China, affecting more than 900 million people – or about 64% of the population. All but two northeastern provinces in China have issued high-temperature warnings, with 84 cities issuing their highest-level red alerts last week.

Please explain how a trace element is able to heat the entire planet.
I can’t explain what can’t happen. Ask Greta.
The ghost of Nikola Tesla...
Just like that CNN guy said in the Project Veritas video....when covid was done they would switch to global warming.

Yep.
100%
This is utter nonsense used for propaganda and agenda.
More human suffering and massive taxation of the productive is required, to SAVE THE WORRRRLLLLLD!!!!
Slept on the glider on the front porch in summer......65 years ago. Today...you’d better be packing if you’re gonna sleep on the porch.
And then it flips; we start entering an ice age.
My friend told me about the summer in 1960 when he was watching a thermometer in his home town in Fresno, California reach 115 degrees every day for a week. These high temps are nothing new and are being used by the political scientists to scare useful idiots into thinking it is a Global Warming crisis. Once again, we allow political scientists to control us rather than climate scientists—who aren’t intimidated through extortion or due to ignorance—that take no part in the conspiracy.
Summer. Hot. Annually.
ya... water is still 65 degrees coming out of the ground so take all your hype and stuff it...

Looks like they’re jumping in with both feet.
There you go, objective and accurate descriptive journalism at its finest. (/s)
Wait...is it summer?
ou might wonder why foil, and if that would attract more heat — it’s actually part of a cooling system designed to reflect sunlight and keep the bridge at a moderate temperature so its materials don’t expand and crack.
= = =
To reflect the radiation, it would need a mirror surface. That aluminum is Gray, that is 1/2 black. Ever pick up a shiny chrome wrench and burn your hand?
Maybe if they set up a chimney around the pillars for air flow to pass upward???
Now, painting the RR rails white is the better soln. White will reflect most of the radiation, way better than that 1/2 black aluminum foil.
I just looked up the pictures. Not impressed.
Way better to have painted it white.
But, you know, that is supremacy.
Oh my goodness!
One million billion degrees!
(Ask Greta.)
She knows everything! 😜
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
(It’s cooler in Montgomery, AL)
Cooling is a sign of Global Warming!!
Run for the hills!!
No wait, the hills are closer to the Sun 🌞!!!!
Aaaaaaiiieeeeee!!
Mine shafts!!
This isn’t even an inkling of hell’s temperature one will face if Jesus isn’t Lord of his or her life.
