Dear MEL Topic Readers
Last month was the planet’s hottest June on record by a huge margin
Our planet has experienced an extremely hot June, hotter than the previous record for the month. That is not surprising as the last nine years have been the hottest nine years on record. Indeed, the planet has been warming rapidly, especially in the last two decades. The major driver of extreme heat, which has been experienced in North America, Europe, and China is no doubt global warming, which has been caused by human activities. Also, on July 5, Earth’s average temperature remained at an unofficial record high, 17.18 degrees Celsius, set the day before. How hot is this summer going to be? Furthermore, El Niño, which is developing in the tropical Pacific for the first time in seven years, setting the stage for a likely surge in global temperatures and disruptive weather and climate patterns as El Niño warms the oceans, expands and heightens sea levels, and causes larger storms. In addition, Antarctic sea ice hit its lowest extent for June. How heavy the floods will be in coastal regions?
Read the article and learn about the rapidly increasing temperatures around the world.
