Paris: Last month was the hottest June at a record in North America, triggered by deadly heat waves in all regions, EU climate monitoring services reported Wednesday, said it described the impact of global warming.
The broken heat was scorched from the southwest to northwest of the United States and to Canada, where the daily temperature of the recording of all time was broken three days in a row at British Columbia.
This area is 1.2 degrees Celsius (34.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average 1991-2020 in June, according to Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3).
“This Heatwave does not occur in vacuum.
They occur in a warm global climate environment and which makes them more likely happen,” said C3S climate scientist Julien Nicolas.
Globally, June 2021 joined the same month in 2018 as the most warm June.
It was a second hot June which was recorded for Europe, while North Siberia also saw very high summer temperatures.
It is well understood that heat waves occur more often, more intense, and last longer than they did in the past, Nicolas told AFP.
“Heubwave that we saw last month in North America, Western Russia and North Siberia were only the latest examples of trends that are projected to continue into the future and are bound to our global climate warming,” he said.
The affected area also has extraordinary dry soil, according to a report from C3S, which records that both forest and heat fires “cause threats to life”.
Dozens of fires have ripped off the parts of Canada in recent days, driven by deadly heatwa conditions and dry conditions.
“What happens in Canada is a big leap in connection with the previous note,” Carlo Buontempo said, Director of C3S.
“This hot record is a strong reminder of the effects of climate change can occur in our lives,” he told AFP.
The 2015 Paris Agreement called for limiting the increase in global temperatures on “far below” two degrees Celsius, and 1.5 degrees if possible.
Human activity has pushed global temperatures up 1.1 degrees Celsius so far, triggering storms that are increasingly stringent, extreme heat waves, droughts and forest fires.
In May, the World Meterology organization and the British Met Office said there were 40 percent chances of the annual average global temperature while exceeding 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial temperatures in the next five years.
The last six years, including 2020, has become the six most warm in notes.
