Hottest February marks ninth new monthly record

According to the latest data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), February 2022 was the hottest February on record, marking the ninth consecutive month to set a new monthly temperature record.

The global average temperature for February was 1.3 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average, surpassing the previous record set in 2016. This trend of rising temperatures is a clear indication of the ongoing impact of climate change on our planet.

Experts warn that unless urgent action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat the effects of climate change, we can expect to see more frequent and intense heatwaves, extreme weather events, and other catastrophic consequences in the future.
