This year has rewritten the climate playbook 🌡️, with scorching temperatures fueling wildfires, floods, and hurricanes across the Americas. CGTN's Ediz Tiyansan reports that 2023 smashed previous heat records, triggering a 'domino effect' of extreme weather events from Canada to Chile.
💥 California’s mega-droughts intensified, while the Amazon rainforest saw unprecedented dry spells. Meanwhile, the Caribbean battled back-to-back hurricanes ⛈️, and Chilean coastal cities faced freak tidal surges. Scientists warn this is not a drill—rising greenhouse gases are accelerating climate volatility.
🌱 Communities are adapting: Mexico City now uses solar-powered water systems, and Canadian towns host 'heat refugee' shelters. But experts say global cooperation is key to avoid worst-case scenarios. 'This isn’t just about polar bears—it’s about our morning coffee prices and weekend hiking trails,' said one climate analyst.
