according to angling groups. the oxygen reader is telling me it s1.7% oxygen when it should be 60% to 100%. it left fish gasping, making them easy pickings for the flocks of seagulls just one example of the effects of the high temperatures the world is experiencing. well, justin still here with me in the studio. justin, before we get to wider questions, just take us through a little more about the implications here. well, the implications are, you know, we ve seen this is a record temperature, the highest temperature ever. scientists are saying, you said the met office is predicting this is going to be even hotter. we may well than see temperatures fall back a bit as the effect of the el nino wanes, but behind the real driver of these rising temperatures is anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse gas emissions from our activities, humanity s activities,
not only the first week of july with the record but the three weeks of july, where the warmest on record. with respect to previous record temperature for july, it s so large that we can confidently say that it s almost certain to virtually certain that the end of july, we will have seen the warmest july on record. charting global our temperatures, you can see here, starting in the 1940s on the left. the major upswing in july temperatures all the way to 2023. eu scientists say that we ve met a crucial warming threshold that could serve as a global tipping point, ushering in more extreme weather now and into the future. u.s. president joe biden was in arizona on tuesday to designate a new national monument. the land surrounding the grand canyon are not protected. the president says that this will help right the wrongs of
this boat owned by the marine biological association. they use this for research, is one of the oldest marine research institutions in the world. you are right, ocean temperatures are really important. 90% of the heat that climate change has created, produced on earth, is absorbed by the oceans. if you think about it they act like a radiator, regulating the planet s temperature and the weather systems of us planet. and they determine the environment in which sea creatures and plants live. 0ne environment in which sea creatures and plants live. one of the things that the marillion marine biological association does is it has a 90 year record of plankton around the ocean is looking at the impact. impact of things like changing temperatures. this record temperature, 20.96 celsius, way above the average, and an all time record temperature, and it will be having a big effect on the ocean
