Moscow steams as it sets a new all-time (yes, all-time) high temperature record

Put a peak on top of a trend and what do you get? A very high peak; otherwise known as a record. When you put El Nino-driven warming on top of the Earth's general warming trend, records get set.

And Moscow set one. Not just the highest temperature in July, or the past decade, or the 21st Century (OK, those are fairly synonymous) -- but the all-time hottest temperature EVER.

I hope you're sweating your a** off in a dacha that's not air-conditioned, Abdusamatov. Knock back a vodka on me. And then go swimming.

All time heat record as drownings rise, bogs burn
