June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States.
Isn't this jibber-jabber ? I think McKibben would know better.

If my yard temp breaks a record at 102 degrees, it's not surprising
when my neighbor's yard breaks a record at 102 degrees.
Likewise, for my neighbor across town, in then next town, in the next state, ...

Likewise for the AC bill, fires in Colorado, a hurricane next week in Louisiana, etc.

It takes something that is averaging the overall effects to mean anything,
such as long term measurements, the advance or retreat of glaciers,
invasions or losses of species of animals or plants in significant areas, etc.

Only the ilk of TV weathermen make claims about today's weather
having anything connected to the cause/effect of global warming.
That's just job security.
