“Scientists: July set new global heat record”
“July was the hottest month measured on Earth since records began in 1880, the latest in a long line of peaks that scientists say backs up predictions for man-made climate change.
“The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday [Aug. 15] that July was 0.95 degrees Celsius (1.71 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the 20th century average of 15.8 C (60.4 F) for the month.
“Because July is generally the warmest month on the calendar, meteorologists say this means it also set a new all-time monthly record for the past 140 years,” by the Associated Press, on FOX News.
