July 3, 2023 became the hottest day in global history. Meteorologists have indicated that with climate change and the emergence of El Ni ñ o, the global average temperature will continue to rise, and it is expected that more records will be broken this year.

According to Reuters on July 4th, according to data from the National Center for Environmental Forecasting in the United States, July 3rd was the hottest day in global history. As the heat wave swept across the world, the global average temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius, exceeding the record of 16.92 degrees Celsius in August 2016.

In recent weeks, the southern United States has been hit by strong heatwaves. On the other hand, sustained heatwaves have caused the highest temperatures in many parts of China to exceed 35 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature in North Africa is close to 50 degrees Celsius. Even Antarctica, which is currently in winter, has experienced abnormal high temperatures. Ukraine's Volnadsky Research Base located in the Argentine Islands of Antarctica recently broke its temperature record for July with 8.7 degrees Celsius.

Jenny Miller, Executive Director of the Global Climate and Health Alliance based in California, USA, said, "People around the world are already suffering from the impacts of climate change, from heatwaves, wildfires, and air pollution to floods and major storms. Global warming has also exacerbated crop losses, epidemics of infectious diseases, and immigration."

Miller added, "The extraction and use of coal, oil, and natural gas harm human health and are the main factors causing global warming. This requires governments of all countries to make a commitment at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference to gradually phase out all fossil fuels and make a reasonable transition to renewable energy."

"This is not a milestone we should celebrate. On the contrary, it has sentenced humans and ecosystems to death," said meteorologist Frederick Otto from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and Environment at Imperial College London

"Unfortunately, this could be just the beginning of a series of record-breaking temperatures this year," said Zeke Hausard, a research scholar at the Berkeley Earth Organization. "With the increase in carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with the increasing frequency of El Niño events, these will push temperatures to new highs."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
