Scientists announced that the highest daily global average temperature record in human history has been broken. Moreover, the record was broken 2 days in a row and it is highly possible that we will come across with new records in the continuation of the summer.
With global warming, temperature records have been broken many times around the world, region by region. But on July 3, 2023, a record that all people felt was broken. Since we started recording temperatures within 24 hours highest global average temperature recorded.
According to data shared by the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute, the average temperature on Earth on July 3 to 17.01 degrees Celsius reached. In general, 2023 remained at a higher level compared to previous years.
Moreover, it was said that this temperature record could be renewed in the near future…
Peter Carter, Director of the Climate Emergency Institute and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that El Niño, one of the biggest atmospheric events to increase global temperatures, is “just getting started” he stated. He announced that El Niño will reach its peak next year.
The new record was broken again in less than 24 hours:
The average temperature record set on July 3 was renewed on July 4. new record, 17.18 degrees Celsius was recorded as.
What is El Niño?
El Niño hits South America, causing above-average precipitation and destruction in and around the United States. The effects of this event on Asia, the other end of the ocean, are drought and forest fires is happening. Many experts see En Niño as one of the main culprits of rising temperatures.
New records “death warrant for people”
from Imperial College London’s Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment. Frederick Ottoshared a statement worrying about the latest record:
“This is not a milestone we should celebrate. A death sentence for humans and ecosystems.
Unfortunately, increasing [karbondioksit] “The El Niño event, which grows with emissions of greenhouse gases and greenhouse gases, is pushing temperatures to new heights, marking only the first in a series of new records set this year.”
