July 2021 was the hottest month in the entire world history of meteorological observations. It is reported by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
According to American scientists, the average recorded temperature of the land and ocean surface around the world was 1.67 ° C higher than the 20th century average of 15.8 ° C. This figure is 0.02 ° C higher than the previous record set in 2016.
“July is generally the warmest month, but July 2021 surpassed itself as the hottest month ever recorded. This new record adds to worries about the devastating path that climate change has set for the world, ”said agency spokesman Rick Spinrad.
Earlier, scientists at the University of Oregon found that many indicators reflecting the degree of comfort for human life on Earth began to deteriorate rapidly due to climate change and minor efforts to reduce anthropogenic emissions. Since 2019, there has already been an unprecedented rise in the number of natural disasters associated with global warming.
