Hottest temperature ever recorded

 From a toot by earthlyeducation

Sorry I would to retract my previous statement that Sunday July 21 was the hottest day on record. Monday July 22 is now the hottest ever day in recorded history. 

The preliminary global surface temperature for July 22 just came in at 17.15°C (62.87F), obliterating the previous record set just the day before of 17.09C.

The Copernicus data go back to 1940.

Even if we all panic, and move really fast to cut emissions, it will still take +- 10 years to make global electricity generation even 80% renewable and to make the car/light-truck fleet 100% electric.  But you can still do something right now, something which would cut emissions by 30%:  become vegetarian.  That won't take 10 years to take effect.  It'll be immediate.
