#3it's certainly not Alaska's warmest month ever, not even close. It may be the warmest since we've had a continuous temperature record. This exaggerated phrasing isn't going to help the cause, it'll just get more people wondering about the credibility of such claims and sources.

Sure, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and our ancestors were proto-rodents hiding in crevices, it was warmer in Alaska.

What would constitute as value to the conversation? There is no more ignoring the climate crisis. The first step is to talk about it and understand the scope of the problem.

Do you mean hundreds of thousands of years ago or more? Pretty sure it’s obvious the claims are about during human existence.

you are being downvoted not because you are wrong, but because you are stating a thing that is obviously true to almost everyone here interested in this topic. you may feel you are being helpful but most feel you are being obnoxiously pedantic. i can appreciate both sides here, but i also know a more pedantic title will do nothing to stop climate denial trolls from pretending not to trust this stuff.

Most comments are "we have to do this or that (things that have been repeated a thousand times) but it depends on politicians, nobody is doing anything, we are doomed, it's not really that hot in a timeline of thousand of years, we need CO2 sequestration, we need to plant trees", blablabla.
We could post comments using Markov chains and nobody would notice, everything would get upvoted
