"It looks like the past July might have been the hottest month on Earth in the past 120,000 years," said Zhao Xiaolu, senior director of Climate at the Environmental Defense Fund Beijing Representative Office. Human activity has caused the globe to heat up to an unprecedented level, and the warming climate increases the likelihood of extreme climate events. International collaboration in combating climate change is absolutely crucial. The world needs to transition from burning fossil fuels and increase the share of renewables in the energy mix. Zhao pointed out that countries also need to become more resilient to a changing climate, because these types of events are not going away soon even if we drastically change or reduce our greenhouse emissions. Countries around the world need to do much more and do it faster.
