The European Union's climate agency, Copernicus Climate Change Service, has confirmed that June was the warmest month on record, marking the 12th consecutive month with global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. This milestone follows a year of consecutive record-breaking temperatures, with scientists warning that the planet has surpassed the 1.5°C threshold. While the Paris Agreement aims to limit long-term warming to 1.5°C, the current trend raises concerns about the devastating impacts of climate change. The record-breaking heat has affected millions worldwide, with no signs of slowing down.
