After kicking off the with the hottest week ever recorded, July is on track to be the hottest month on the books, according to the World Meteorological Organization. It’s probably the hottest month in about 120,000 years, Associated Press reports. Heatwaves affecting North America and Europe this July would have been “virtually impossible” without climate change, a recent study found. Climate change also made a severe heatwave in China this month 50 times more likely.
