year on record for the uk and you all know the sufferings that occurred during the summer heatwaves and of course the winter heatwaves also, smashing records in the last several months, and while we might laugh at the images of frolicking swimmers in the uk seas, we also know that these have devastating economic impacts, for example, the alpine industry and winter tourism industries, so this is a pressing reality and not just a global temperature peak that is going to be of deep concern, it s also those off years, but also with an el nino event on the horizon this winter projected to be even a weak one will likely to the planet into a record global temperature year, superseding 2016. that s a dire picture but there is some good news. one last question for you, samantha. what is still needed to have emissions by the end of the decade? it s a difficult task but i think some of the new things you are seeing are helping. analysis showed the inflation reduction act might get us

highs but also in germany and central europe in general. this record temperatures in many places not recorded in the history of our measurements and in our region, the record from was also beaten by more than three celsius. in switzerland, temperatures hit 20c, and the warm weather s affected ski resorts across the alps. look, the snow is really wet. it is no longer constant, it s like in spring. the snow actually has to bind and that does not work with a lot of water. in recent years, heatwaves have become more frequent, more intense, and have lasted longer because of human induced climate change. however, warm winter events such as these do not have the same impact on humans as summer heatwaves, which can result in large numbers of excess deaths. the world has already warmed by about 1.1 degrees since the industrial era began.
