June Hottest on Record; Arctic Ice at Record Low
------------------------------------------------

Scientists have confirmed this June was the hottest June ever recorded
— making it the 14th straight month to smash global temperature
records amid human-fueled climate change. This comes as the amount of
Arctic sea ice has hit an all-time record low. Scientists have confirmed
that a vast stretch of ice, roughly twice the size of Texas, has
vanished over the last three decades, and that the rate of ice melting
is accelerating.
