(58,349 posts)1. Climate change: July world's hottest month ever recorded - US agency
Turkey is one of several Mediterranean countries to be affected by wildfires during high temperatures.
The data shows that the combined land and ocean-surface temperature was 0.93C (1.68F) above the 20th Century average of 15.8C (60.4F).
It is the highest temperature since record-keeping began 142 years ago. The previous record, set in July 2016, was equalled in 2019 and 2020.
Experts believe this is due to the long-term impact of climate change.
In a statement, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that July's "unenviable distinction" was a cause for concern.

deny climate change. Hell, considering the fact that about 40% of US will not even take a vaccine that would stop a pandemic what chance do we have in doing what is necessary to deal with Climate Change?
I guess the "self-righteous" and the unconcerned can tell their children and grandchildren that they have their thoughts and prayers in dealing with the coming disasters.
