A little surprised to see these posts still crop up when to me it seems like these records aren't news anymore, but rather the expectation. I saw someone on here point out that instead of repeatedly saying "this is the hottest X on record" we should start saying "this is expected to be the coolest X for the next 100 years".

You should check out https://www.carboncounter.com If you drive very little and mostly on the highway, a mini ICE car may be more efficient than an electric car (due to the fixed emissions associated with producing the battery). Of course, an electric (or even hybrid) vehicle) is a far, far better choice for the vast majority of drivers.
So does this chart not include fixed costs? Because there isn’t a single ICE in chart that’s better than any Electric as far as I can see.

#25At this point i feel so much guilt for driving (on weekends now and then) a guzzler that i’d rather throw it to the bin and never look back. Either way i am never again driving an ice car.

However I visit the home country once a year and I see twenty cars lined up at a drive through with their engines running. It makes me feel like a sucker for even trying.

#27What does this mean? How are there two july's in a row? Did they mean the "second year in a row"? If they were actually comparing july to june, well of course july is colder than june. Bleagh. I have no idea.
Edit: Wait, wait, yes, july is colder than june, so I don't know how it could come up with less ice... argh I still don't get this

Manufacturing a new EV with all the attendant impact from raw materials processing and manufacturing vs keeping an older ICE car where all of that is sunk costs not a clear win in my view.
