No mention of climate change in the article.
weather != climate
Weather is not climate but record after record after record for years in a row is climate change.

#12Meanwhile here in Texas, that level of heat is business as usual. I get that most places in the EU don't have aircon, as they rarely need it, barring southern EU, which I have spent considerable amounts of time in. I far prefer the misty moors of England over anything with tons of sun.
Having grown up in Europe, I do prefer their weather when it's normal for them. If only I could convince my wife to move somewhere with a proper 4 seasons rather than this hideous backwater of heat and humidity.

I don't get why climate change is disputed. It's obvious that as society grows, we have increase CO2 output through record levels of burning fossil fuels. > Energy arrives from the sun in the form of visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The Earth then emits some of this energy as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 'capture' some of this heat, then re-emit it in all directions - including back…
Because energy companies and "free market"/"prosperity" thinktank lobbying groups dump a ton of resources into getting politicians and media moguls to broadcast well-known lies. It was never an organic movement.

#14We're seeing record shattering temperatures in different parts of the world a lot this yet - yet the article doesn't even mention climate change. As long as we keep shoveling meat into our faces 5x per day and the population keeps expanding at break-neck rate, we have massive heatwaves and endless storms to look forward to. And then that road will come to an end, and it won't be pretty.
You're right about the meat but peak population growth rate was 50 years ago.

I guess editorializing on the causes of weather trends is not within the scope of AccuWeather?

It's a hard sell.
It's devastating to think about, very negative, and it almost always means that people need to quit doing things they've come to love.
It's like trying to get someone who's addicted off their drugs and telling them that even if they are successful with quitting, it won't protect them unless all others stop doing drugs simultaneously.

#17Every day two or three articles like this one reach the front page. I guess they are upvoted by people who want to feel good about themselves. "There are some people out there who don't believe in climate change. Let's upvote this to show how enlightened I am". Because, otherwise, what's the point on having these "summer is hotter than it used to be" articles all day up?

A major difference is most Texans make use of air conditioning. Paris largely does not.
