There have been record temperatures every day for more than a year. Scientists are investigating what’s behind the extraordinary measurements.

“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”

Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

    I have a lot of conservative family members in my extended family. You can tell them this all day long, present all the data in the world, and they wouldn’t care one single crap.

    “Hoax, lies, fake news, liberal agenda, etc, etc.”
