An expert in climate change said, 'We're gonna have to get used to dealing with warmer temperatures' as Earth continues to break records.
Earth set a record high air temperature for the third time this week, averaging 17.23 degrees Celsius on Thursday, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data.
There are a number of factors causing record heat. While climate change due to rising greenhouse gases is considered the primary reason by scientists, a strengthening El Nino cycle is also a likely contributor. "That is certainly going to affect the development of storms," Knox said."It's competing with El Nino, which tends to inhibit the storms a little bit because there's strong winds aloft. But if you have enough warm water, then that's gonna certainly affect things. And of course, all that warm water puts off a lot of water vapor too. So things are likely to be quite humid this year and that's really uncomfortable for a lot of people.
