Climate change has always been coming and here. That’s what it is, changing. No one actually argues this.

I think you mean man made crisis. But, was it man made crisis in 1937 when the previous record was set? Why was that just cyclic or random weather event but this has to be a smoking gun?

It not effective to ”weather isn’t climate… unless it’s used to argue climate change”. That isn’t helpful. Holding up a snowball or pointing at rain is just a shallow reinforcement to people that don’t really understand the topic and that goes both ways.

Instead maybe be helpful and put together the temperature trend for that city over 100 years if you want to get people on board the idea that it’s rapid warming. Or discuss non-political solutions. Or try to not bandwagon finger wag for what should be a level-headed discussion.

While you are right in principle, right now Lytton is not just experiencing record temperatures, it's experiencing temperatures 5 C higher than anything encountered in the last 100-150 years (highest peak known before was 44.4C in 1941, 29 June 2021 was 49.6C):

Edit: corrected values to use the previous record for Lytton instead of the previous record for all of Canada.
