Well, July is finally gone! One of my least favourite months of the year 😦
Oh boy, what a scorcher July was! Here in Greece we were hit with a three week looooong heatwave. The hottest ever in recorderd history! Many people like myself refused to leave the house. It was just so unbearable at all times of the day. You rish dehydration and heat exhaustion. I felt bad for the tourists who were brave enough to come to Athens in July. They knew it was going to be hot, but not this hot! Everytime I turned on my air conditioner I was so grateful for this invention! I raised my arms in homage to the 13th god of heating and cooling. I could not have survived with a fan. Which is useless when your room temperatrue is 36 degrees celcius!
On the news, I kept on hearing talk about ‘global boiling’ and ‘the new normal’. The last phrase annoys me so much. This is not something we should get used to. If all of these weather abnormalites are the result of climate change-which is man-made-and it can be reveresed.. than why not reverse it? What else needs to happen so that moumental changes can be made? Why are we accepting this ‘new normal’?
This ‘new normal’ means death..

Yes you are absolutely right. When I visited northern Sweden in 2018 for my dad’s funeral they had the hottest July in recorded history, almost 200 years, and temperature records by 3 degrees Celsius over the hottest ever recorded previously, and extreme wildfires that had never been seen before, and this was in what is essentially in the arctic. Now this July has been horrible here in north Texas. Triple digits (40 Celsius something) almost every day since mid June. Today it was 107 (42 Celsius). Allegedly 1980 was worse in Texas but the general trend is up. NASA, NOAA, etc., keep check on overall global temperatures and the trend is up, and we know with certainty that the cause is mostly the greenhouse gases we emit, and you are right, we can stop. It may take some time to stop, but we can stop.
Wow! Yes, I’ve heard about the Arctic. Sweden and Texas. It is horrible everywhere! The U.S and the Mediterannean are dealing with the same issues right now. If it continues to get worse I’m afraid we are doomed!!
