National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s warning comes as the UN sounds the alarm over human-induced climate change.
Earth sizzled in July and became the hottest month in 142 years of record keeping, United States weather officials have announced. As extreme heatwaves struck parts of the United States and Europe, the globe averaged 16.73 degrees Celsius (62.07 degrees Fahrenheit) last month, beating out the previous record set in July 2016 and tied again in 2019 and 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Friday. The margin was just .01C (.02F).More Related News
