Record-breaking

I especially want to thank our record-breaking sales team.

Parts of the world are feeling the strain of record-breaking heatwaves, drought, devastating floods and raging wildfires. They are having a widespread impact on human health, agriculture, ecosystems and infrastructure.

In the U.S., in a record-breaking pace, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna shipped its vaccine last month to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to begin human testing.

The world's worst air this week is not in pollution hot spots like India or China. It's in the western United States, where record-breaking wildfires are blanketing the region with smoke.

The result of a record-breaking heat wave covering much of southeastern Europe, wildfires have sprung up across Turkey, Italy and Greece.

In 2012, Jason Box correctly predicted weeks in advance that much of the soot from the huge wildfires in western North America that year, mixed with soot from power plants, would reach Greenland and trigger a record-breaking melt, due to the black soot absorbing more thermic energy than the white ice.

After weathering record-breaking temperatures, parts of Europe are now gripped by a punishing drought that is shriveling harvests, sparking water shortages and taking a toll on wildlife.

Two Australian men flew from Sydney Monday on their way to Antarctica for an attempt at a record-breaking pole trek.

Meteorologists say nine of the 10 warmest Junes on record have occurred since 2010. The 10th record-holder was in June 1998. WMO says last month's record-breaking temperatures were felt across the globe. It says no land or ocean areas have recorded cold temperatures in June.

I just took a record-breaking shit.
