alt text for four panel image
First panel: a poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids asks a smart™ thermostat "hey little man hows it goin?"
Second Panel: the smart thermostat points with a large arrow at a screenshot of a graphic that reads "August Trends: Heating & cooling compared with last year", and shows zero hours more heating, 129 hours more cooling, with a small caption underneath that reads "On average, temperatures were 5 degrees warmer than August 2022"
Third Panel: the poorly drawn figure with half-closed lids is shown with an unreadable smile in front of a semi-transparent image of a NASA article that reads "NASA Clocks July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record Ever Since 1880"
Fourth Panel: the poorly drawn figure says "yea"
Oof! Sorry friend.
