[corrector]

It's a "record" only because we didn't start to officially record temperature until approximately 150 years ago. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and we know from the geological record that today's average temperate is actually way below the long-term historical average.

You have to eat humble pie as the country is in the world's spotlight again for forest fires. Its now getting personal for Canuks.
