May was 13th Straight Month to Smash Previous Temperature Records
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Last month was the hottest May on record. It was the 13th straight month
to set a new record, amid increasing global warming. This comes as the
Central United States is slated to experience a sweltering heat wave
over the weekend. Meanwhile, hundreds of people in Southern California
have been evacuated from their homes near Santa Barbara as a
drought-fueled wildfire exploded in size Thursday. Scientists have
linked the increase in wildfires to climate change.
