“Even those places that are used to extreme heat have never seen it as hot as it is now for as long as it's been,'' Biden said. “Even those who deny that we’re in the midst of a climate crisis can’t deny the impact of extreme heat is having on Americans.''

Biden's bid to address the immediate effects of climate change come as he faces pressure from fellow Democrats and environmental groups to declare a climate "emergency,'' a step he has so far resisted. The steps announced Thursday supplement his long-term agenda for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and deploying clean energy technology, policies that may not pay dividends for years to come while global temperatures continue to rise

Never had hot summers before today! /s

Except last summer and the summer before that. And the summer before that.

And oh yeah, the summer when I was a kid.

Wait, what happened to the global cooling I heard about when I was a teenager? Shucks, that never happened!

Can we pull somebody’s credentials?
