Yes, it's hot out there. Record-breaking heat, day after day after day. And most of us feel pretty strongly that pollution and greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere are causing changes in the global climate. 

But according to this article in Mashable and the climate scientists who study the data, it's not as bad as people may have predicted ten years ago. 

Maybe things are looking up after all? Maybe, just maybe, we're turning a corner despite the short-term consequences of our actions?

Stay cool out there, comrades. And keep striving for sustainability.
