This October record , though , is n’t that much bad than the last hot October . It beat October 2015 by a mere 0.01 level Celsius . Perhaps October 2020 will show them who ’s really hot crap . This time , at least , the passion was felt around the earth for the most part . Eastern parts of Europe felt it . So did the Arctic and most of eastern Antarctica , which is always bad newsworthiness . Above - intermediate temperatures also polish off southerly Brazil , southern Africa , and westerly and southern Australia .
Meanwhile , part of the western U.S. and Canada realize below - average temperatures . Good for them , I approximate , but so long as spheric temperatures continue to ascend , the world as we eff it is doomed .
Luckily , scientist just put out aclimate emergency declarationwith proposal of marriage that could help us reverse course . unluckily , President Donald Trump justformally withdrewthe U.S. from the Paris Agreement , aka the only hope left to push Earth drawing card to reduce glasshouse gas emissions .
Everything is just fine .
