August tied as the hottest month ever recorded, according to Copernicus — the third such record announcement since 2023. How much does another heat record headline shake you?

A Copernicus szerint az idei augusztus 1,65 fokkal haladta meg az iparosodás előtti szintet — pontosan annyival, mint 2023 júliusa, a korábbi rekorder. 2023 óta ez már a harmadik ilyen „valaha mért legmelegebb" bejelentés.

• I'm used to it now — a new record every year feels almost expected.
• It shakes me every time, even though I expect it.
• One month's data alone doesn't say much about the long term.
• I care more about what policymakers do about it than the number itself.
