It has, Earth was much warmer in the past. I completely believe climate change is happening, but I don't understand why a new temperate record is scary. Higher sea levels, higher temperates, higher CO2. The earth has had all that for millions of years in the past without triggering mass extinctions. Humans have been around for all of it except higher CO2. And it's all happening on a slow enough time scale (generations) that I expect minimal disruption. Global warming is real but not the apocalyptic catastrophe that media makes it out to be. We as a species have better things to worry about like millions of us dying from preventable diseases every year.
