According to the Copernicus global Change Service of the European Union, July 2023 will be written in history as the hottest month ever recorded, serving as a stark reminder of the growing climate change.
With July temperatures 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, 2023 is now the third warmest year on record, according to Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus.
She emphasized the urgent need for bold efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the main reason behind record-breaking temperatures, saying “We just witnessed global air temperatures and global ocean surface temperatures set new all-time records in July.”
Record temperatures have been witnessed everywhere due to the oppressive heat, from Death Valley in California to a hamlet in northwest China. Additionally blazing wildfires have raged across southern Europe and Canada, highlighting the catastrophic effects of climate change.
Four out of every five people on Earth experienced July as being intolerably hot as a result of human-induced global warming, according to a recent study by the science charity Climate Central. Over 2 billion people, as per the research experienced increased temperature every day through out the month as a result of climate change.
