Joe Romm claims that September didn’t used to be hot in the US, and that CO2 is making it hotter.
The U.S. Is Still Sweating Out Heat Waves In September. Why? | ThinkProgress
This is blatant straight up fraud. By every measure, US September heatwaves were much worse prior to 1960.

USCRN 10 year trend -0.23ºF/decade (includes August 2015)
ClimDiv 10 year trend -0.45ºF/decade (includes August 2015)
In USCRN, August 2015 was =8th warmest out of 11 years of August data.
Say no more. !!
September is still summer, why the heck would anyone question it being hot?
