Climate Reanalyzer uses data from the NCEP climate forecast system to provide a time series of daily mean two-metre air temperature, based on readings from surface, air balloon and satellite observations. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), whose figures are considered the gold standard in climate data, said on Thursday it could not validate the unofficial numbers.<\/p>\n<p>It noted that the reanalyzer uses model output data, which it called \u201cnot suitable\u201d as substitutes for actual temperatures and climate records. The NOAA monitors global temperatures and records on a monthly and an annual basis, not daily. \u201cWe recognise that we are in a warm period due to climate change, and combined with El Ni\u00f1o and hot summer conditions, we\u2019re seeing record warm surface temperatures being recorded at many locations across the globe,\u201d the NOAA said.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, scientists agree they indicate climate change is reaching uncharted territory and that the increased heat from anthropogenic global heating combined with the return of El Ni\u00f1o would lead to more record-breaking temperatures. The UN confirmed the return of El Ni\u00f1o, a sporadic weather pattern, on Tuesday. The last major El Ni\u00f1o was in 2016, which remains the hottest year on record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChances are that the month of July will be the warmest ever, and with it the hottest month ever \u2026 \u2018ever\u2019 meaning since the Eemian [interglacial period], which is indeed some 120,000 years ago,\u201d Dr Karsten Haustein, a research fellow in atmospheric radiation at Leipzig University, said.<\/p>\n<p>Various parts of the world have been experiencing heatwaves and on Thursday the EU\u2019s climate monitoring service said the world had experienced its hottest June on record last month. The southern US has been sweltering under an intense heat dome in recent weeks, including on the national 4 July holiday on Tuesday. In parts of China, an enduring heatwave has continued, with temperatures reaching above 35C. Overall, one of the largest contributors to this week\u2019s heat records is an exceptionally mild winter in the Antarctic. Parts of the continent and nearby ocean were 10-20C (18-36F) higher than averages from 1979 to 2000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTemperatures have been unusual over the ocean and especially around the Antarctic this week, because wind fronts over the Southern Ocean are strong pushing warm air deeper south,\u201d said Raghu Murtugudde, professor of atmospheric, oceanic and earth system science at the University of Maryland and visiting faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>Chari Vijayaraghavan, a polar explorer and educator who has visited the Arctic and Antarctic regularly for the past 10 years, said global warming is obvious at both poles and threatens the region\u2019s wildlife as well as driving ice melt that raises sea levels. \u201cWarming climates might lead to increasing risks of diseases such as the avian flu spreading in the Antarctic that will have devastating consequences for penguins and other fauna in the region,\u201d Vijayaraghavan said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/jul\/07\/un-climate-change-hottest-week-world\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/un-says-climate-change-out-of-control-after-likely-hottest-week-on-record\/\">UN says climate change \u2018out of control\u2019 after likely hottest week on record<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[516,612,10624,1824,402,606,607,608,4575],"class_list":["post-115378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-change","tag-climate","tag-hottest","tag-record","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-week"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115378\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
