In recent weeks, Wheat Ridge Police have stepped in twice to help after dogs were left alone in overheated spaces.
It's not just you, this past year has been warmer than usual. In fact, every month for over a year has broken heat records.WASHINGTON — Earth's more than year-long streak of record-shattering hot months kept on simmering through June, according to the European climate service Copernicus.
“It's a stark warning that we are getting closer to this very important limit set by the Paris Agreement,” Copernicus senior climate scientist Nicolas Julien said in an interview.
Even without hitting the long-term 1.5-degree threshold, “we have seen the consequences of climate change, these extreme climate events," Julien said — meaning worsening floods, storms, droughts and heat waves.June was also the 15th straight month that the world’s oceans, more than two-thirds of Earth’s surface, have broken heat records, according to Copernicus data.
Another factor is that the air over Atlantic shipping channels is cleaner because of marine shipping regulations that reduce traditional air pollution particles, such as sulfur, that cause a bit of cooling, scientists said. That slightly masks the much larger warming effect of greenhouse gases.
Global daily average temperatures in late June and early July, while still hot, were not as warm as last year, Julien said.
