## Resource

August shattered global temperature records, becoming the hottest month ever recorded — a stark warning that climate change, fueled by fossil fuels and amplified by El Niño, is no longer abstract but deadly real. Schools closed, hospitals strained, and infrastructure buckled as extreme heat swept across the Northern Hemisphere, including record-breaking summers in Canada and the U.S., even hotter than the Dust Bowl. Ocean temps hit all-time highs too. With eight of the ten hottest months since July 2022, scientists warn we’re entering a new normal — one where deadly heatwaves are escalating, driven by human choices. Without drastic cuts to fossil fuel use, these disasters will only grow worse, threatening health, economies, and lives worldwide.
