On July 22, 2024, the global average surface temperature reached a record 17.15°C, surpassing the previous day's record by 0.06°C, marking the hottest day ever recorded, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. This unprecedented heat is attributed to climate change driven by human activities, with experts noting that current temperatures resemble those from 125,000 years ago. Various regions, including Japan, Indonesia, China, and parts of Europe, have experienced extreme heat, with temperatures exceeding 45°C in some areas and heat indexes above 60°C in Gulf states. Climate scientists emphasize that the ongoing rise in temperatures aligns with predictions regarding fossil fuel consumption and its impact on the climate. The extraordinary warmth has occurred without the influence of the El Nino climate pattern, highlighting the severity of human-induced climate change. As a result, scientists warn of the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and their dire consequences for global communities.
