ThePOTreported on Tuesday that July was the hottest month of the one you have global registration and warned the effects of climate change about people and ecosystems they will increase with “continuous heating” that produces the human activity on the planet, according to scientists from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS).
As reported by the European Copernicus Observatory in early August, the US space agency confirmed that last month was 0.24C warmer than any other July on record. POTand that it was 1.18 Cº warmer than the average between 1951 and 1980.
“NASA data confirms what literally billions of people around the world felt: July 2023 temperatures made it the hottest month on record. In every corner of the country, Americans are experiencing firsthand the effects of the climate crisisunderscoring the urgency of the climate agenda,” said NASA Administrator bill nelsonin a statement posted on the space agency’s website.
“The science is clear. We must act now to protect our communities and the planet; it’s the only one we have”said Nelson, who recently visited Argentina.
Climate change according to NASA
The main focus of the GISS analysis were temperature changes long-term that occur for decades and centuries on the planet, so “normal” temperatures are defined for several decades.
Parts of South America, North Africa, North America and the Antarctic Peninsulaexperienced temperature increases of about 4 Cº above average.

Concern about high temperatures on the planet
He July record continues a trend, driven mainly by greenhouse gas emissions that became evident in the last four decades.
According to NASA data, the five hottest joules, since 1880, occurred in the last five years.
“Climate change is affecting people and ecosystemsand we expect many of these impacts to increase with continued warming,” he explained. Katherine Calvinscientist and senior climate advisor at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“Our agency looks at climate change, its impacts, and its drivers, such as greenhouse gasesand we are committed to providing this information to help people plan for the future,” he said.
Record heat in Argentina
The forecast for the months of August, September and October foresees average temperatures above normal in the north of the country and a greater frequency of “higher maximum temperatures” in the central and northeastern sectors, while above average rainfall is expected on the west of the Patagoniawarned this Tuesday the National Metereological Service (SMN).
The SMN report “Quarterly Weather Forecast” noted that they are expected warmer temperatures about the “Northwest, North, Coastal and East region of Santa Fe”, where it is 50% more likely to occur above normal temperatures.

Meanwhile, it is anticipated normal or higher temperatures to normal about Córdoba, west of Santa Fe and east of Buenos Aires; while there is a greater probability that temperatures will be recorded within normal parameters over southern Patagonia.
For western Patagonia, normal or lower than normal thermal marks are expected, according to the SMN.
