A combination of various news sources reported on July 8, 2024, that climate change has caused temperatures to soar globally, with June marking another record high average global temperature. Scientists have warned that this year may be the hottest on record. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) data showed that the global surface temperature in June reached 16.66 degrees Celsius, 0.67 degrees higher than the 1991-2020 average and 0.14 degrees higher than last June's record. Over the past 12 months, the global average temperature reached a new high, exceeding pre-industrial levels by 1.64 degrees. Experts predict a 95% chance that this year will surpass last year as the hottest since the mid-19th century when temperature recording began. Extreme weather events have led to severe impacts worldwide, affecting not only human health but also causing significant economic burdens due to agricultural losses and contributing to food inflation.
