July 2023 hottest month ever recorded on Earth | DW News

July was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth, the EU's climate observatory confirmed on Tuesday.
Marked by heat waves and wildfires around the world, the global average temperature in July was a third of a degree Celsius (six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit) higher than the record set in July 2019, according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus, said that 2023 "is currently the third warmest year to date."
Burgess warned that the data indicates that the world will face "dire consequences."
"Even if this is only temporary, it shows the urgency for ambitious efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main driver behind these records," she added.

July was the warmest winter I can remember in Sydney.

The whole point about the climate change is the extremes are going to get further apart. Don't just focus on heat, the storms are going to get a lot worse. The frequency/severity of hailstorms and forest fires has already increased significantly in the last 35 years.

[voyd]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scare them good. Scare them into compliance.

paris climate treaty has failed
we need a new one before it's too late

[theshadedshadow]

But I thought all those climate taxes were supposed to fix it?

[niccreznic]

I hope our AI overlords will dislike the heat as well.

[suzumes]

Don't think of this as the hottest summer yet, think of it as one of the coolest summers left in your life.

WORLD TO END
POOR AND MINORITIES
HARDEST HIT

What we need is an expensive and luxurious emergency climate summit so it will look like world leaders are doing something to combat global warming.

*Wow... The supposed record was "a third of a degree Celsius (six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit) higher than the record set in July 2019"...!* 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅 🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♀

Doomers, raise for our national anthem.

How do you know this is the hottest days if you have only the records for hundred years?

[Evan]

We've been breaking records year after year. But this year over here in the Netherlands we've been breaking cold records

[toplisteverything]

It was raining in Germany in July and August this year

[bupingbao]

My body temperature has changed 0.5555 degrees 😂

[mutkaluikkunen]

I can tell you that Finland did NOT contribute positively into that average. It was a lot colder here than usual so I think we're going to need more CO2 in the atmosphere because I want to have at least some nice weather during my holiday.

I live in North Carolina. It has been the coolest summer/July ever! Every year since 1970's that I remember, every July has hit over 100 degrees more than 10 days out of the month. This year: Not one day over 100 F and highest was 95 F. That is 5 to 10 degrees below the normal going back 50+ years. But the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service is worried about 0.33 degrees? As we say is North Carolina: "Putting lipstick on a pig does not make it a beauty queen." It is called: "Climate: period."

Average in Java down, sameplaces on the night 2°C-8°C in Bromo mountain, Dieng,

[rhuttrho]

Yeah, that's because we haven't been recording long. There was an ice age you know. The earth 🌎 cooled and thawed with no humans around! You'll be just fine Jr.
