Its the summer of changed climate. Get used to itZachary B. Wolf

CNN Heres a hot take on the summer of 2023: The climate you grew up in is gone, replaced by something new and changing, but also inalterably different where the Atlantic Ocean can reach hot-tub temperature, heat is a recurring public health concern and people will have to adapt their way of living.
In this year of epic heat, its time to start thinking about how the climate changed rather than the fact of its changing.
From a historical standpoint, we are in uncharted territory. This is not just the hottest month in human history. It may be the hottest month in 120,000 years, according to scientists in Europe.
From a daily life standpoint, things are different
Nearly half the US is under a heat advisory this week, and the countrys largest power grid was on alert.
