The POT meets again to talk about the era that our planet Earth is living in terms of climate change, concluding again that this year will experience a unique moment in the entire history of humanity due to the high temperature indices due to climate change.
A year ago the space agency published an impressive heat map where it illustrated the zones and flows of heat and high temperatures in different parts of the world. At that time, the alert indicated that 2022 would be a year with extreme heat, breaking any record previously registered for high heat.
Unfortunately, records were made to be broken and this 2023, as the space agency warns again, we would be facing a series of “unprecedented changes” where more elevated temperatures will be reached than ever before.
Some countries of the northern hemisphere in the American continent have been able to verify this first hand, with a complicated storm, where the heat waves have been extreme, generating multiple situations and conflicts.
July 2023 will be the hottest month in history
According to a report from Los Angeles Times, The NASA space agency has held a media roundtable in recent days to discuss the entity’s work on climate change.
Gavin Schmidt, NASA’s chief climate scientist, addressed the situation of high temperatures in the United States and other nations where spring and summer storms have been extreme.
Where July 2023 will likely be the world’s hottest month for “hundreds, if not thousands, of years”:
“We are seeing unprecedented changes around the world: the heat waves we are seeing in the US in Europe and in China are demolishing records, left, right and center.
What we are experiencing is general heat, practically everywhere, particularly in the oceans. We have been seeing record sea surface temperatures, even outside the tropics, for many months.
The reason we think it’s going to continue is because we continue to put greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Until we stop doing that, temperatures will continue to rise.”
According to the scientist, it is anticipated that 2024 will be an even warmer year as the El Niño meteorological phenomenon will begin to manifest, which will reach its peak towards the end of this year.
