INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The European climate monitoring organization, Copernicus Climate Change Service, has made it official: July 2023 was Earth&s hottest month
on record by a wide margin.July&s global average temperature of 16.95 degrees Celsius was a third of a degree Celsius higher than the
previous record set in 2019, Copernicus Climate Change Service announced Tuesday
Normally global temperature records are broken by hundredths or a tenth of a degree, so this margin is unusual, Associated Press
reported.The United States is now at a record 15 different weather disasters that caused at least $1 billion in damage this year, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday
It&s the most mega-disasters through the first seven months of the year since the agency tracked such things starting in 1980, with the
agency adjusting figures for inflation.These records have dire consequences for both people and the planet exposed to ever more frequent and
intense extreme events,& said Copernicus deputy director Samantha Burgess.There have been deadly heat waves in the Southwestern United
States and Mexico, Europe and Asia
Scientific quick studies put the blame on human-caused climate change from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.The previous single-day
heat record was set in 2016 and tied in 2022
From July 3, each day has exceeded that record
It&s been so warm that Copernicus and the World Meteorological Organization made the unusual announcement that it was likely the hottest
month days before it ended
Tuesday&s calculations made it official.We should not care about July because it&s a record, but because it won''t be a record for long,&
said Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto
&It&s an indicator of how much we have changed the climate
We are living in a very different world, one that our societies are not adapted to live in very well.The global average temperature last
month was 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times
In 2015, the nations of the world agreed to try to prevent long-term warming — not individual months or even years, but decades — that
is 1.5 degrees warmer than pre-industrial times.Last month was so hot, it was .7 degrees Celsius hotter than the average July from 1991 to
The world&s oceans were half a degree Celsius warmer than the previous 30 years and the North Atlantic was 1.05 degrees Celsius hotter than
Antarctica set record lows for sea ice, 15% below average for this time of year.The post European scientists make it official: July was the
hottest month on record by far first appeared on Ariana News.
