U.N. Meteorologists: 2017 "Another Exceptionally Warm Year"
-----------------------------------------------------------

In climate news, the World Meteorological Organization warns planet
Earth is in the midst of "another exceptionally warm year" with heat
waves arriving far earlier than normal in a pattern that's consistent
with climate change. Parts of North Africa and the Middle East saw
temperatures top 122 degrees Fahrenheit this week. Palm Springs,
California, tied that mark, setting an all-time high. Meanwhile in
Paris, France, highs reached 100 degrees Thursday.
