According to the Washington Post, scientists are concerned about a series of unusual meteorological events that indicate Earth has entered a new climate era. The recent sharp rise in global temperatures has had serious consequences, including record low water levels in the Amazon and extreme heat in Mali.

Over the past ten months, more than 19,000 weather stations have recorded record maximum temperatures, making this period the warmest on record. The rise in temperature is attributed to long-term greenhouse gas emissions and El Niño activity fueling these latest changes, which experts describe as the beginning of a “New Climate Era.”

This period of significant temperature increases raises serious concerns about the future climate of the planet. Climate models have difficulty predicting such rapid changes, which can lead to an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. While La Niña may bring temporary relief this summer, there’s a risk it won’t; This highlights our lack of understanding of climate predictions and our unpreparedness for future challenges. Source
