April's Alarming Heat: A Glimpse into Our Warming World

Last month's global temperatures reached new heights, marking the period as the second-warmest April recorded, according to Copernicus, Europe's climate agency.
The average surface air temperature was 14.96°C, exceeding the 1991–2020 norm for April by 0.60°C, trailing only behind April 2024 by 0.07°C.
With these alarming temperatures, experts reiterate that human-induced climate change, primarily through fossil fuel combustion, demands urgent global action to mitigate increasingly extreme weather events.
