The climate change crisis that the world is suffering from is worsening, and it is getting worse day after day in an accelerated manner, as heat is constantly burning in the world, which increases expectations of the occurrence of natural and environmental disasters that may pose an unprecedented threat to humans.
Official figures published by monitoring centers in Europe showed that last June was the hottest June ever in the history of the world.
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” quoted in a report seen by “Al Arabiya.net” that European monitoring centers confirmed that temperatures recorded record numbers during the past month, which made it “June is the hottest,” but it comes in thirteenth place in terms of record numbers. Standard in general.
According to scientists in the European Union's climate change program, globally, the Earth recorded the hottest June ever.
Last month was not only the hottest month of 2024 so far, but it was also the thirteenth month in a row that broke the record in terms of high temperatures in general.
Experts point to greenhouse gas emissions as the cause and warn of an ongoing "climate catastrophe."
According to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the average global temperature for June of this year was 61.98 degrees Fahrenheit (16.66 degrees Celsius). This is 0.25°F (0.14°C) higher than the previous warmest period in June 2023.
Worryingly, this number is also 1.2°F (0.67°C) warmer than the 1991-2020 global average for June.
“June represents the thirteenth consecutive month in which global temperatures set records, and the twelfth consecutive month above 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial period,” said Carlo Bontempo, Director of C3S.
He added: “This is more than just a statistical oddity, it highlights a significant and ongoing shift in our climate. Even if this particular series of extremes ends at some point, we are bound to see new records broken as the climate continues to warm.” He continued: "This is inevitable, unless we stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and oceans."
Run by the European Commission, C3S examines temperature readings based on a variety of platforms and instruments, from weather stations to weather balloons and satellites.
The section's readings indicate the average air temperature for the entire planet over the course of the entire year, which is much lower than a single "hot" temperature reading typically.
Moreover, the average global temperature over the past 12 months (from July 2023 to June 2024) is now the highest on record.
C3S said the past 12 months were 1.36 degrees Fahrenheit (0.76 degrees Celsius) above the average between 1991 and 2020 and 2.95 degrees Fahrenheit (1.64 degrees Celsius) above the pre-industrial average between 1850 and 1900.
