Now, we see ~24 days per year above 90 'F.

By the time I'm 80 (another 30 years), we'll see ~42 of these days, over a month.

It's just getting steadily hotter every year all around the world, which, I guess is somehow different than warming globally. The climate isn't changing, it's just doing what it naturally does every several tens of thousands of years before becoming a desolate, virtually barren, ice-covered planet, only much, much more rapidly than ever before.

  2. When I was a kid in Newington, NH in the 1950s and 1960s, you could tow your smelt fishing shack out on Great Bay with your car or truck in the winter. The saltwater bay no longer freezes enough to safely walk on.
