July 2023 is on track to be the hottest month ever recorded, and may be the hottest month in the last 120,000 years.
July 2023 is on track to be the hottest month ever recorded, and may be the hottest month in the last 120,000 years, scientists have said Attribution, Dr Otto said the heatwaves in southern Europe and North America would have been ‘the statistical equivalent of impossible’ without human-induced climate change.
A study published earlier this month estimates that more than 61,000 people died across Europe last year because of heat, more than 3,000 of whom were in the UK. The Earth has already warmed by more than 1.2C, mostly because of the burning of fossil fuels, and this is expected to rise to about 2.5C by 2100 with the emissions reduction policies currently in place.WMO secretary-general Professor Petteri Taalas said: ‘The extreme weather which has affected many millions of people in July is unfortunately the harsh reality of climate change and a foretaste of the future.
Dr Marina Romanello, executive director of the Lancet Countdown, said many countries are prioritising fossil fuel subsidies over public health and that in 2021 alone, heat exposure cost the world economy 700 billion US dollars and 470 billion potential labour hours.
