According to the observation records released by NOAA, the total surface temperature of land and sea in July 2021 was 0.93 degrees higher than the average of 15.8 degrees in the 20th century, and it was the hottest month in the history of observation for 142 years. In particular, the temperature of the ground surface in the Northern Hemisphere was unprecedented heat of 1.54 degrees above normal, surpassing the record of July 2012, which was the highest ever, and was the highest ever.



Below is a map of important meteorological phenomena that occurred in July 2021 created by NOAA. In July 2021, the temperature was among the top 10 observation records in North America, South America, Africa, Oceania and other parts of the world, and especially in Asia, it broke the 2010 record and reached a record high. In addition, it was the record hottest in Europe after 2018. Hurricane Elsa, which caused devastating damage to the east coast of the United States in July, was the earliest fifth-named Atlantic hurricane.

In particular, New York, which was hit directly by Elsa, suffered great damage such as flooding over a wide area because the infrastructure such as the underground structure was designed to be vulnerable to flooding.




'July is usually the hottest month of the year, but July 2021 was the hottest month ever, according to NOAA Director Rick Spinrad. It is a clearer indication of the seriousness of the disturbing and destructive journey it brings to us. '

Spinrad also noted a report released by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in August 2021 that 'it is clear that human activity is the cause of climate change, and its implications. The IPCC's report, which confirmed its widespread and rapid growth, is very alarming, 'he said, adding to the sense of crisis about the progress of climate change.

In its sixth assessment report released on August 9, the IPCC pointed out that 'there is no doubt that human influences have warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land,' the assessment report said. For the first time in the history of books, we used the assertive expression that 'global warming is caused by humans.'

IPCC finally concludes that 'global warming is caused by humans', 'red light for humankind' and UN Secretary-General --GIGAZINE
