Another month, another climate milestone. The Earth just endured its hottest June on record, smashing 2023's high in what scientists call a “relentless, alarming” trend, according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
13 months and counting: Every single month since June 2023 has broken temperature records, creating the longest streak of historic heat ever documented. Think of it like a viral TikTok dance challenge—except this one’s threatening ecosystems, food security, and summer travel plans.
Why it matters: Rising ocean temperatures, wildfires, and extreme weather events are no longer distant warnings—they’re today’s headlines. Copernicus data shows global temperatures in June averaged 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, hitting the critical threshold set by the Paris Agreement. Spoiler: We need to act faster than a K-pop fan buying concert tickets.
What’s next? Experts urge rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions and investments in renewable energy. Meanwhile, grab your reusable water bottle—this summer’s heat is just getting started.
