The world is experiencing record-breaking high temperatures due to several factors. One is the El Nino, which warms the surface ocean and raises global average temperatures. Another factor is the reduction in air pollution, which has offset some of the warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing solar activity and water vapor from a volcanic eruption also contribute to the spike in temperatures, albeit to a lesser extent. However, the main reason for the high temperatures is human-caused climate change, with greenhouse gas emissions causing a global warming trend. Accelerating climate action is necessary to prevent more extreme heat events.
