Say what you want but it’s getting hotter and it’s our fault. We’re driving around in cars and flying around in planes.

Animated GIFs are usually really annoying, continuously looping, low quality animations- but admittedly there are a few funny ones out there. To save you the trouble, I’ve brought a bunch together for you. I don’t claim ownership over any of these. Nobody can.
