The Copernicus Climate Change Service, which has monitored global temperatures since 1940, officially declared Monday, July 23, 2024, the hottest day. Previously, July 22, 2024, held the record for the hottest day, but this was broken just the day after.

The global temperature measured on Sunday was 62.76F, the highest ever in Earth’s history, but the data suggests it reached 62.87F on Monday, thus breaking the previous temperature record.

The data published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service suggests that the global temperatures between July 2023 and July 2024 were the highest in history.

This has raised concerns amongst scientists and global climate change activists, warning us about the rapid change in global temperatures due to human-caused global warming. This human-induced climate change is dangerous for not only the survival of plants and animals but also for humans.

The climate change is not only causing damage to the ecosystem but also geographically. Scientists have recently stated that the melting ice at the poles is leading to a change in the Earth’s rotation, making days slightly longer.

Global temperatures are increasing at an alarming rate, causing major droughts, heatwaves, and forest fires throughout the world. Now is the best time to act, or the results could be catastrophic and may lead to global extinction.
