"Alarming heat scorched Siberia on Saturday as the small town of Verkhoyansk (67.5°N latitude) reached 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, 32 degrees above the normal high temperature. If verified, this is likely the hottest temperature ever recorded in Siberia and also the hottest temperature ever recorded north of the Arctic Circle, which begins at 66.5°N."
We're talking about one of the coldest spots on Earth, this past November the area dropped to 60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, a normal characteristic for the area and one of the first areas that would drop that low in temperature. This summer, now, we're recording 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the SAME AREA. 100 degrees. This is part of a statistical trend of these types of areas beating records and having temperatures run way up above what they should be for the area. 2020 has already been projected to be the hottest year on record, which is now a common trend as global warming accelerates. The Earth's climate is changing and being able to say that "Siberia is on fire" is astonishing and terrifying.
If you thought COVID-19 was bad, well, at least that isn't a threat to the future of Human existence as this is.
