Summary
Record-breaking temperatures lingered over the Pacific Northwest during a historic heat wave.The last seven years on Earth have been the hottest on record with no signs of slowing down, and 2021 ranked the sixth warmest ever, climate researchers at NOAA and NASA announced on Thursday.This is what climate change caused by human activity looks like, and there’s no end in sight.“We’re already seeing the impacts of the global warming that we’re talking about now in local weather and in extreme [weather events],” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, at a press conference. And earlier this week, Buenos Aires reached 106 degrees (or 41.1 degrees Celsius), according to AccuWeather, making it the second-highest temperature recorded there in more than a century.“There’s probably a 99% chance that 2022 will rank in the top 10 hottest years,” Vose said.Contact Alexandra Applegate at alexandra.applegate@buzzfeed.com.Got a confidential tip?
