UN Secretary General António Guterres has warned that "the era of global boiling has arrived" as scientists say July 2023 is on track to be the hottest month ever recorded.
"Climate change is here, it is terrifying and it is just the beginning," he said, while separate analysis suggests July could be the hottest month in 120,000 years.
"The era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived. The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable."
