record heat wave

Friends, we have a record heat wave. Perhaps we have an over active sun. That said I feel this is evidence of global warming. Climate change is real, but why is the question and I am not sure I have an answer. Like wow, our thermometer is red hot now. Also, there is a sticky feeling to the air. It could be a new process. Frankly, carbon levels in our  atmosphere cannot account for high temperature that we are seeing. That said, we need to plan ahead for more warm summers.
