The world experienced its Hottest day on Record on July 4, with temperatures reaching 62.92 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius), breaking the previous record set in 2016. Extreme heat, exacerbated by climate change and the El Niño weather pattern, has affected the United States, China, and the Asia Pacific region. Heatwaves have caused deaths and heat stress, and scientists warn that climate change will make heatwaves more severe and frequent. The record-breaking heat also extends to the oceans, threatening marine life and fisheries. However, efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy can help mitigate the effects of global warming.
