The climate crisis, which is caused by the effect of greenhouse gases released, has caused great changes in air temperatures in recent years. In these days when we are having one of the hottest summers of recent years, experts state that new records may be broken in the next 6-week period.
While temperature records are broken in many countries in Asia during the spring months, the air temperatures in the southern parts of the USA are above seasonal normals. In addition, the UK is struggling with the highest temperatures in history. On the other hand, it is stated that the temperatures in the North Sea and Antarctica have risen to very high levels.
