Last week Palm Springs California set a new record with a high temperature of 124 degrees, proving once and for all that global warming is indeed happening. Or is it? Some people don’t want to be confused by the facts. Palm Springs is in the desert. It gets hot there. In fact the highest recorded temperature in California history happened 90 years ago.
Sure the planet’s climate is changing. It has been changing for the past 6000 years. But note this list of high temperatures by state, and what year it was recorded.
