Strangely, North America often seems to dodge the worst of the heat on these maps. I feel this is actually somewhat unfortunate on a global scale, sound we have a lot of power and tend to be a substantial obstacle to energy policy change.
Yeah I live in Ontario near the great lakes and our last 2 summers have actually been relatively cool and we've had lots of rain too. I bet there are a lot of boomers that live around the great lakes that think climate change is complete horse shit, just because we've barely experienced anything negative yet.
But we also had all the smoke from the wildfires this year, we had a crazy snow storm the last 2 winters and last spring we had a wind storm that did tons of damage and knocked out power for days. So there are some negative things, just depends on if people believe it or not.
Weird that you're all calling it "Earth's summer" when it's only been summer in the Northern hemisphere.. Not arguing the point, just saying it sure hasn't been summer down here in Australia
88% of all humans live in the northern hemisphere.
And yet human pollution affects everyone
Summer "this year" started for the southern Hemisphere last December 21st. So minus those 9 days from the previous year, it doesn't seem odd to say "Earth's summer", no?
just saying it sure hasn't been summer down here in Australia
Your turn's coming up. 
Did the Southern hemisphere have a summer this year?
Snow seasons here in VIC were super short this year.
Almost makes me wonder if I wasted my mountaineering training at this point.. Glaciers probably won't be around for long..
This arctic melting season has been weird as hell, too
Below all expectations basically all summer and then mayhem those past two weeks - went from a "not that bad" year to "third lowest on record" (and possibly second, because it's September 18th and it's still melting yet)
With El Niño picking up, 2024 will most likely be hell
Sad part is it was hot AF this summer and my area isnt even in the red shaded areas.
Wait until next year when it becomes even hotter because republicans refuse to admit man made climate change exists and therefore wont allow anything to be done about it.
I'm sure continuing to subsidize fossil fuel industry is going to make things even better going forward.
