Climate Change: July began with world’s hottest week on record, says UN

Live Mint  

As climate change becomes an increasingly significant concern, the month of July began with the earth's hottest ever week. A statement from the specialised UN agency explained that climate change and the early stages of the El Nino weather pattern had also driven the warmest June on record. The world has warmed an average of nearly 1.2 C since the mid-1800s, unleashing extreme weather including more intense heatwaves, more severe droughts in some areas and storms made fiercer by rising seas. On Thursday, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said on Thursday that June 2023 had smashed all previous records by a substantial margin.
