The world just experienced its warmest September ever, tied with a 2005 record, the NOAA said on Monday.
The average global combined temperatures from land and ocean were 1.21degF above average, another extreme in the world under climate change, according to the latest State of the Climate report from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
The warm September record follows a trend of land and ocean warming, with the first nine months having the eighth warmest global land and ocean temperature in record keeping history.
September 2012 was also the month in which the Arctic had its smallest sea ice extent on record.
Extremes were recorded on a national level as well.
"The January-September period was the warmest first nine months of any year on record for the contiguous United States. The national temperature of 59.8degF was 3.8degF above the 20th century average," the analysis states.
The warm season in the U.S., April to September, was also the warmest such period ever.
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back.
