'It is a cruel summer,' U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Thursday, calling rising temperatures 'a disaster' for the entire planet and noting 'humans are to blame.'
That’s United Nation’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, himself on a boil Thursday, in a climate-change speech delivered as major climate trackers declared July the hottest month on record.
Such action comes as nearly 40% of the U.S. population faces extreme heat advisories right now, according to the National Weather Service. Above-normal temperatures have already scorched the Southwest this month, and more heat is expected in the Midwest and the Northeast in the coming days. Both Guterres and Biden spoke on the day that at least three different organizations declared July a record month for extreme heat: the World Meteorological Organization, the European Union–funded Copernicus Climate Change Service and Leipzig University in Germany.A release from Leipzig University and another from the WMO and the Copernicus Climate Change Service, known as C3S, said July temperatures were about 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
