Canada broke a national heat record when the temperature in a small town in British Columbia reached almost 46.6°C, breaking an 84-year-old record by nearly 3 degrees, with dangerously hot weather expected to continue. Residents in eastern Europe and parts of Siberia are struggling to cope with heatwaves sweeping across the region. Kuwait city’s Nawasib recorded 53.2°C, the highest temperature in the world for this year. Looks like the world is to witness some all-time temperature records. The extreme weather conditions certainly point to climate change, and the well-documented effects of human behaviour like carbon emissions on the planet. Governments must act now by setting targets to reduce methane emissions to confront climate change.
