AP News's Seth Borenstein is reporting that July 2023 was recorded as the hottest month on Earth since records began, with temperatures driven by human-caused climate change and exacerbated by high sea surface temperatures and the onset of El Niño.
The global average temperature for July was 1.18°C above the 1951-1980 average, making it 0.24°C warmer than the previous hottest July in NASA's records. Extreme heat affected large parts of South America, North Africa, North America, and the Antarctic Peninsula, contributing to severe heatwaves and wildfires across the Northern Hemisphere.
This trend underscores the urgent need for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate future climate impacts.
