Topic Reading-Vol.1230-8/24/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
July was Earth's hottest month on record, NOAA says
It was a sizzling summer, wasn’t it? Yes, indeed July 2015 was the hottest month since records began in 1880 having beaten the previous record set in 1998. And it wasn’t only July but the average temperature for the first seven months of the year was hotter than ever before.
Was that caused just by global climate change? No. There was another factor that affected the temperatures around the globe. El Nino. It is a natural phenomenon which appears as a large layer of warm water in the Pacific that causes global temperatures rises. This year, El Nino has been reported to be very intense.
Although El Nino is out of humans’ hands, the cause of global warming can be managed by coherent effort by individuals, societies, enterprises and governments. Having witnessed and experienced another clear and present evidence, what are humans going to do to deal with global warming?
Enjoy reading and learning about this year’s sizzling summer.
