World Witnessed Hottest Day Ever Recorded, Highlighting Global Warming Challenges
On July 21, the world experienced the hottest day ever recorded, with a global average surface air temperature of 17.09°C, surpassing the previous record. Heatwaves scorched regions across the United States, Europe, and Russia, contributing to the record-breaking temperatures.
The increasing greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, which drive climate change, are likely to continue breaking new records in the coming months and years. Scientists have even suggested that 2024 could surpass 2023 as the hottest year on record due to climate change and the El Nino phenomenon.
The rising temperatures have also led to devastating wildfires in southern Europe and disrupted infrastructure due to extreme heat. It is alarming to note that the average temperature is now 1.64 degrees above the pre-industrial era, while the Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to 1.5 degrees.
The recent records emphasize the urgent need for global action to address the challenges posed by global warming.
