This week, António Guterres, the head of the U.N, warned about climate change news regarding 2023. “The era of global warming is over; the era of global boiling has begun,” he said at a news meeting, as scientists confirmed that July is on track to be the hottest month on record.
The climate is changing. It’s terrifying. “And this is just the beginning,” Antonio said at a briefing at U.N. offices in New York on Thursday, as he talked about “children being swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, and workers collapsing in the scorching heat.”
He also said that data showed that “July has already had the hottest three-week period ever recorded, the three hottest days ever recorded, and the highest ocean temperatures ever for this time of year.”
Since his speech, there has been a lot of interest in the word “global boiling” and what it means. Scientists have different opinions on its use; some say it is not a scientific term while others say it could be substantial.

Forster said, “The changes are huge, but they are exactly what we thought would happen.” “We told people 20 years ago that this would happen, and it is.”
He said that global boiling could be quite relevant in some situations, such as where temperatures and humidity rise a lot. “That will have a significant effect on death because our bodies can’t sweat if both the humidity and the temperature go up simultaneously. For example, these temperatures happen in the Middle East and a little bit in Pakistan and India. In the future, this will happen in even more places.
He said some events, like the warming of the oceans and the melting of sea ice, may be happening faster than scientists thought. “But heat waves, for example, have been predicted for a long time.”
