Highest temperature so far this summer in Chicago (at ORD) is a non-threatening 93. That’s well below the long-term average.
Much of this hype is not even connected to observations anywhere except a few isolated arctic islands that had a bit of a spike ten years ago.
There is no really valid reason to predict any huge warming trend nor is there any real reason to pay the taxes that elites want to collect. They will have to live on the salaries they have now, I guess. Those are certainly high enough for what anyone gets in return.
