July 2021 was the hottest month in human history: it will get worse from now on

It was a summer of sweltering heat and raging wildfires, now officially confirmed: July 2021 was the hottest month on Earth since record keeping began. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) called it "an unenviable situation" and part of a downward trend associated with climate change. This was reported by the news channel CBS News.

«В этом случае первое место — наихудшее место», — сказал представитель Национального управления океанических и атмосферных исследований Рик Спинрад. — Июль, как правило, является самым теплым месяцем в году, но июль 2021-го превзошел сам себя как самый жаркий июль и месяц из когда-либо зафиксированных. Этот новый рекорд лишь усиливает тревожный и разрушительный путь, который изменение климата установило для всего мира».

The findings came just days after the UN released a major international climate report documenting the "extreme" and "unprecedented" effects of warming that are already being felt around the world.

According to data released by NOAA's National Environmental Information Centers, the world average land and ocean surface temperature in July was 1,67 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 60,4th century's average temperature of 15,7 degrees Fahrenheit (142 Celsius). The official record of global temperatures began XNUMX years ago.

High temperatures broke records in Asia, where it was the hottest July ever recorded. According to NOAA, nine of the 10 warmest July in Asia have occurred since 2005.

In North America, South America, Africa and Oceania, temperatures were among the 10 warmest July on record. Most of the western US states experienced the worst heat waves in the region, with many states having their warmest July on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The intense heat continues in August. The day before the NOAA announcement, temperatures in Sicily reached nearly 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48,8 Celsius), seemingly breaking the European heat record.

Meteorologist and climate specialist Jeff Berardelli said the NOAA news was not surprising.

«Это часть непрекращающихся событий, связанных с изменением климата, — сказал он. — И это только начало — мы будем продолжать систематически достигать новых беспрецедентных уровней, пока не перестанем нагревать планету».

Berardelli noted that July 2021 was warmer than 2016. This is significant as there was a strong El Niño in 2016, causing unusually high temperatures. This event became one of the most powerful in history.

«Но июль 2021 года превзошел его, — сказал он. — Это показывает, насколько быстро люди нагревают климат сжигая ископаемое топливо».

Among the latest findings, scientists said, among other things, that in July Arctic glaciers were melting at a record pace in 43 years of registration. The ice area declined 1,14 million square miles in July alone, which is 36 square miles per day, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The NOAA also said global tropical cyclone activity was above normal this year.

According to the department, it remains "very likely" that 2021 will be among the 10 warmest years on Earth in the entire history of observations. And without a concerted effort to reduce carbon emissions and slow climate change, extreme heat can be expected, as stated in the report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

«Ученые со всего мира предоставили самую новейшую оценку того, как меняется климат, — сказал Спинрад. — Это отрезвляющий отчет, в котором делается вывод: влияние человека однозначно является причиной изменения климата и подтверждает, что последствия широко распространены и быстро усиливаются».

The rise in temperature not only causes more heat waves, but also contributes to more intense weather events of other types, including hurricanes and droughts.
