July 2023 Is Hottest Month Ever Recorded In Modern History

In July 2023, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) reported that it was the hottest month ever recorded in global temperature history. The analysis highlighted the urgency of President Biden's strong stance on climate change, given the backdrop of extreme events such as wildfires and floods. July 2023 was 0.43°F (0.24°C) hotter than any other July on record and 2.1°F (1.18°C) warmer than the average July between 1951 and 1980. The GISS analysis, which focuses on long-term temperature changes, revealed that this rise in temperature aligns with a trend of human-induced warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of climate change is being felt globally, with regions like South America, North Africa, North America, and the Antarctic Peninsula experiencing particularly high temperatures. NASA's data comes from a variety of sources, including air and sea surface temperature data, which is used to analyze and understand the implications of ongoing climate change
