Earlier, CCTV reported that the temperature of a water body in Florida, USA, rose to 38 degrees Celsius. Today, this phenomenon has not been alleviated, but is still spreading.
According to Chinanews.com, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released a report showing that the sea temperature in the southern United States showed a historically rare abnormal increase in August, and even the highest monthly temperature in some areas. Recording. The highest water temperature could have disastrous consequences for all of humanity.

On the other side of China, this summer, the northern region was also hit by rare floods due to typhoons, causing heavy casualties and property damage.
All these show that global climate change has caused great impacts and threats to the human living environment.

In fact, in recent years, sea temperatures in the southern United States have been on the rise, but this year, from the Caribbean Sea, to the Gulf of Mexico and east of Florida, sea temperatures generally exceed 30°C, and large areas of water temperatures exceed 32°C. Even 33°C turned into a "white sea" on a data card, which is historically rare.
Although the specific reasons for this can be attributed to factors such as a "strong El Niño year", the absence of strong cold air masses in North America, and an increase in hot weather due to increased solar radiation, in the final analysis, the root cause of this disaster is global climate change. The consequences for humanity are absolutely devastating.

In recent days alone, there have been several serious natural disasters across the United States.
On the 9th, due to hot and dry weather and strong winds caused by Hurricane Dora hundreds of miles away, severe wildfires broke out in many parts of Maui, Hawaii, killing at least 36 people and missing several people. Nearly 10,000 people died from smoke inhalation, 14,000 residents lost power, and thousands were displaced. Some residents had to jump into the sea to escape the fire.
Over the past two days, severe thunderstorms have erupted in the eastern United States, with the strongest gusts reaching hurricane level, causing more than 170,000 customers to lose power; In Alaska, melting glaciers caused flooding that eventually caused dams to burst.
Such catastrophic hurricanes and ocean heatwaves are one of the direct consequences of an abnormal increase in sea temperatures.

Due to the influence of global atmospheric water circulation, the recent flooding disasters caused by typhoons in Chinese mainland and the flooding disasters that occurred in India, South Korea, and other countries around the world last month are also inseparable from the rise in sea temperature in the southern United States.
The warm waters of the southern United States are important indicators of global climate change, reflecting a heat imbalance at the Earth's surface and an abnormal energy exchange between the atmosphere and oceans. This situation not only affects the local climate, but also poses a threat to global climate stability and human well-being, highlighting the serious challenges facing humanity.
Therefore, we should recognize the seriousness of global climate change and strengthen international cooperation. In particular, the Western developed countries, led by the United States, should shoulder their responsibilities, effectively save energy and reduce emissions, jointly curb the trend of global warming, and contribute to world development. We benefit ourselves and future generations.
