Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
July was Earth's
hottest month on record, NOAA says
It was a sizzling
summer, wasn’t it? Yes, indeed July 2015 was the hottest month since records
began in 1880 having beaten the previous record set in 1998. And it wasn’t only
July but the average temperature for the first seven months of the year was
hotter than ever before.
Was that caused just
by global climate change? No. There was another factor that affected the temperatures
around the globe. El Nino. It is a natural phenomenon which appears as a large
layer of warm water in the Pacific that causes global temperatures rises. This
year, El Nino has been reported to be very intense.
Although El Nino
is out of humans’ hands, the cause of global warming can be managed by coherent
effort by individuals, societies, enterprises and governments. Having witnessed
and experienced another clear and present evidence, what are humans going to do
to deal with global warming?
Enjoy reading and
learning about this year’s sizzling summer.
