## Resource

August tied July 2023 as the hottest month ever recorded, with global temperatures soaring 1.65°C above pre-industrial levels — the first time we’ve breached the 1.5°C threshold since November 2025. Western Europe endured its scorching summer on record, fueled by a relentless heatwave that began in May and triggered devastating droughts across the UK, France, Hungary, Romania, and Serbia, leaving rivers like the Rhine and Danube dangerously low. Scientists warn this isn’t random — fossil fuel emissions are the primary culprit, amplified by El Niño — while ocean temperatures also shattered records, marking the warmest August ever outside the poles. The evidence is undeniable: without drastic cuts to coal, oil, and gas, more record-breaking extremes are inevitable.
