Scientists attribute the sustained extreme heat to human-caused climate change combined with a supersized El Nino event. Meanwhile, international developments bring political shifts and emergency incidents, including Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson adopting a Trump-inspired slogan ahead of elections, a French train derailment leaving about 20 injured, and an air raid in Odessa i https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/august-just-set-a-global-heat-and-humidity-record-and-it-wasn-t-closehttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/august-just-set-a-global-heat-and-humidity-record-and-it-wasn-t-close#u64331Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:51:00 +0000August became the hottest month ever measured globally, with some reports indicating it tied the previous record while others state it surpassed it. Scientists attribute these record temperatures to a combination of human-caused climate change and a supersized El Nino event. The heat spike pushed global temperatures past a key climate threshold, marking a significant increase in global heat and humidity levels.Why it mattersGlobal temperatures are rising as the El Nino weather pattern strengthens. This trend reflects broader climate shifts that scientists link to human activity.What is confirm
