July was the hottest month on record. Last year was the hottest on record. This year will probably be even hotter.
The floods in Louisiana? ... single precip events are dumping more precip than ever before. https://www.google.com/search?q=single+precip+events&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjo5_-AzdXOAhVIbB4KHbQqAioQ_AUICSgC&biw=1920&bih=955#imgrc=EmJkK2OTMS8l9M:
Right now in NYC there are about two days per year over 95 degrees.
If greenhouse gas emission trends continue until 2100, in NYC it is likely that there will be 42 days per year with days over 95 degrees. In Dallas there will be 133.
Of course the heat waves would be just one aspect of the new climate.
