Whenever there's coverage of a climate change-driven heat wave, like this week's in Pakistan, something's missing.

Temperatures rose above 52 degrees Celsius (125.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in Pakistan’s southern province of Sindh, the highest reading of the summer and close to the country’s record high amid an ongoing heatwave, the met office said on Monday.

CNN reports on the temperatures (129° this time), and perhaps mentions the records that have fallen.

What's never said is that the records won't last. Weather changes day to day, but the climate will keep getting hotter. Whatever records are set these days, will be broken within a few years, then broken again. It's not going to stop, ever.

These are the good old days.
