For the first time in over a century, the Seine River has been opened for public swimming to help Parisians cope with an intense heat wave. Mayor Anne Hidalgo made good on her promise to clean the river ahead of the Olympics. Despite official assurances of water quality, reports from Olympic test events noted athletes becoming ill after competing in the river.

A reporter on Molly Jong-Fast's podcast claimed that New York City never saw 100-degree days in June until recently. John C. Dvorak debunks this using historical data from newspapers.com, citing a 98.7-degree day in June 1952. The hosts use this as an example of how "under-informed" pundits use anecdotal evidence to support climate change narratives.

Media reports are framing the current summer heat wave in the Western U.S. as an unprecedented "heat dome" caused by climate change. Doctors in Phoenix are warning of second-degree burns from touching asphalt, though critics argue this is typical for Arizona in July. The rhetoric is seen as a way to drive public anxiety over a "changing planet."
