"The North Atlantic just completely destroyed its June average temperature record, breaking the previous record by more than 0.4 °C (0.7 °F).

A stunningly sharp excess for such a large body of water."

Sometime I think the Mayan calendar people were right. The world ended in 2012, it's just a slower process than John Cusack movies would lead us to believe.

So it’s been over a decade obviously, but I believe that’s actually what they were marking in 2012 with the end of their calendar. Not the end of the world but the end of our current era

Its a cyclic calandar and the last major cycle ended. If there were still ancient Mayans maintaining the calendar they would have calculated another major cycle.

That’s it! Thank you for correcting me, if it had been a snake it would’ve bit me
