I'm dealing with it the best that I can, New York has another few more days to deal with it with temperatures in the 90's.

The global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere, and should be dealt with many years ago. Even in novelist Arthur Herzog published a book "Heat" in 1977, which blended fiction and fact into a terrifying and highly plausible story of the near future: a time when tensions mount as ecological doom beckons, with the protagonist Lawrence Pick, an engineer, gathers startling evidence that the world’s weather may be rapidly changing, as a prelude to a fundamental alteration in global climate.

We knew about global warming many years ago and it seems nothing has been done. For a start, stop the cattle farting methane gas into the atmosphere.

What I am doing about it:

- Staying indoors
- Buying a generator
- Saving up for an electric vehicle

New York has another few more days until this heatwave passes, today was 95 with a brief thunderstorm and tomorrow should be low 90's then Saturday and Sunday temperatures will be in the upper 90's and by Monday temperatures should be 85.

My area in Texas has been having multiple back-to-back days of temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. I can't even sit down outdoors at night without getting sweaty. I'm trying to deal with it by waiting until later in the evening to go on my walks and runs that I like doing so much, and generally just staying indoors most of the time.

It's a good thing it isn't snowing. Can you imagine shoveling in this heat?

Nope. I heard it from someone the other day and thought it was funny.

I have air-conditioning in my house too, there was a time where our air-conditioner ran all night up until we turned it off in the morning cause it got so very hot upstairs and downstairs but after that My Father would get such a huge electric bill that now we turn it on and turn it off at specific times but as for me I turn it off before I go to sleep so that way my room can stay at least a bit cool.

If it snowed now most likely it would melt pretty quickly from the heat, it would turn to water.

I've been pretty much staying inside with my AC on blast while completing college work, I'm in between jobs right now so I don't have to worry about going outside as much, besides being in my Air Conditioned car to go to the grocery store or something. We've had multiple three digit days where I live, so that's not fun plus the humidity to go along with it.

New York will see temperatures today and tomorrow in the mid 90's.

Hopefully this darn heatwave will come to an end on Monday with showers and thunderstorms cause I know we sure need some right now.

It seems like the summers are getting a little hotter but it's just not hot enough here for me personally. I really like hot weather, 27c degrees and above is ideal for me all summer long. But here we have a bunch of days that get below 27. Where I live it's also really, really dry. I don't mind a little more humidity so you don't have to wear pants and a long-sleeve shirt at night.

Next year I plan to move more out east so that won't be a problem for me.

I'm not crazy about summers sometimes when it gets real hot like next week we might get a 3rd heatwave where temperatures will reach the low to mid 90's with a heat index of 100.  :P

It still feels humid but we so desperately need the rain here.
