July in Norfolk was the coldest on record - Simcoe Reformer - Ontario, CA
A July that saw many people trading sweaters for swimsuits will go down as the coldest on record.

The average temperature for the month, as recorded at the Delhi weather station (the most complete data recorder in the area), was 18 Celsius. That is almost three degrees off the normal of 20.9C for the month and the coolest July since records started in 1934. The previous record was 18.3C, which was set in 1965.
The climate and the science fiction
We are not even certain whether what is going on with the climate is the result of our activity. It is inevitable in this case that we should think how small we are in terms of the planet. Even worse is to think how weak we are to do anything to save our, for now, only home.
Ok, we're weak, yet American cell phone chargers can change the weather in Africa?
