Since the 1970s, climate change has been looked at and talked about as something happening in the future, that our kids will have to deal with.

Well, forty years later those kids are definitely grown and over the weekend NASA released data marking April as the seventh straight month that global temperatures have surpassed previous high records. 2016 is poised to be the hottest our Earth has experienced in a very, very long time and we can already feel it.
