0:00I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute. The European Climate Service Copernicus says Earth just sweltered through its hottest month ever. Temperatures average just above 62 and a half degrees Fahrenheit in August, matching the all-time mark set in July 2023. This summer is also the warmer summer and record so we've seen an exceptional few months. Samantha Burgess with Copernicus. Every fraction of a degree of warming increases the likelihood of extremes becoming more intense, more frequent, and longer lasting. A reflection. Our climate system is really operating well outside the range. We would have expected just a decade ago. Burgess ads we have been seeing and feeling the climate change. Hospitals being overwhelmed, roads melting, train lines buckling, and the reality is, we will get more of these conditions that we've seen this summer. I'm Ben Thomas.
