The Last Two Weeks Were Probably Earth’s Hottest on Record
Global air temperatures reached a new high on July 3, surpassing the record set in 2016 and tied in 2022, according to multiple recent analyses, including from the University of Maine and the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Since then, global air temperatures have continued climbing, making July 6 the hottest day Earth has experienced since at least 1979 and very likely before that, experts said.
Though global average temperatures dipped during the second week of July, they have remained above the highest temperatures ever recorded before this year. The first two weeks of July were very likely the warmest two-week period on record, according to the analysis by the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Last month was also the warmest June since at least 1850, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Though global average temperatures dipped during the second week of July, they have remained above the highest temperatures ever recorded before this year. The first two weeks of July were very likely the warmest two-week period on record, according to the analysis by the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Last month was also the warmest June since at least 1850, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The extreme heat and record temperatures are driven by the continued emissions of heat-trapping gases, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, and in part by the return of El Niño, a cyclical weather pattern that tends to be associated with warmer years globally.
Earth has warmed roughly 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th century and will continue to grow hotter until humans essentially stop burning oil, gas and coal, and halt deforestation, scientists say. The warmer temperatures help make periods of extreme heat more frequent and more intense and exacerbate other extreme weather events like persistent drought, wildfires and torrential rain and flooding.
Because these numbers represent worldwide averages, parts of the globe felt the exceptional bouts of heat more forcefully.
North Korea fires 'several cruise missiles' into sea
This would be the latest North Korean missile launch since the reclusive Asian nation fired two ballistic missiles on Wednesday.
North Korea has fired "several cruise missiles" into the Yellow Sea between China and the Korean peninsula, Yonhap news agency reported, citing South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Saturday's launch, which Yonhap said took place around 4 am [local time], comes only three days after North Korea fired two ballistic missiles into the sea on its opposite coast amid rising tensions on the peninsula.
On Wednesday, North Korea fired missiles hours after a US nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine [SSBN] surfaced for a rare visit to South Korea.
North Korea also warned on Thursday that deployment of US aircraft carriers, bombers or missile submarines in South Korea could meet criteria for its use of nuclear weapons.
It also comes as a US soldier is believed to be in Pyongyang's custody after breaking away from a tour group visiting the Demilitarized Zone.
The United States has said it is "very concerned" about how Private Second Class Travis King would be treated, and that as of Thursday, Pyongyang had yet to respond to inquiries about the soldier.
King was due to return to the United States to face military discipline after serving jail time in South Korea for assault.
Relations between the two Koreas are at one of their lowest points ever, with diplomacy stalled and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un calling for increased weapons development, including tactical nuclear weapons.
Pyongyang's defence minister warned on Thursday that this week's port visit of a US nuclear-capable submarine to Busan — the first since 1981 — could meet the legal threshold for the North to use its nuclear weapons.
North Korea last year adopted a sweeping nuclear law, setting out an array of scenarios — some of them vague — in which it could use its nukes, including preemptive nuclear strikes if threatened.
The US submarine's port visit is a "legitimate defensive response" to Pyongyang's ongoing nuclear threats, it said.
In response, Seoul told North Korea that using its nukes would mean the "end" of Kim Jong Un's regime.
As Seoul and Washington have "made clear" before, "any nuclear attack on the alliance will face an immediate, overwhelming and decisive response", Seoul's defence ministry said in a statement early on Friday.
China urged to stop North Korea sanctions evasion in its waters
The Group of Seven, European Union and three other countries plan to appeal to China for help to stop North Korea evading United Nations sanctions by using Chinese territorial waters, according to their letter seen by the Reuters news agency on Friday.
"We have concerns regarding the continuing presence of multiple oil tankers ... that use your territorial waters in Sansha Bay as refuge to facilitate their trade of sanctioned petroleum products to the DPRK," said the letter to be sent to China's UN Ambassador Zhang Jun.
The letter — signed by G7 members the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Britain, plus Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the European Union — will provide satellite images that "clearly indicates these practices continued to occur within China's jurisdiction in 2022 and have continued in 2023."
North Korea, formally named Democratic People's Republic of Korea [or DPRK], has been under UN sanctions for its missiles and nuclear programmes since 2006.
This includes an annual cap of its imports of refined petroleum and crude oil, imposed in 2017.
UN sanctions monitors have also long accused North Korea of evading the measures, including by continuing illicit imports of refined petroleum and exports of coal.
The Security Council has also blacklisted several ships for sanctions busting.
The satellite images to be provided to China show some of those ships using its territorial waters.
"We encourage the Chinese government again to do more to identify and prevent these vessels from anchoring or loitering in Chinese territorial waters," the letter said.
Trump trial on classified documents set for May 2024
US Judge Aileen Cannon set the start of the trial for next year to give both sides time to process more than 1.1 million pages of discovery evidence and confront the challenge of handling the classified documents.
A US judge has ordered Donald Trump's trial for mishandling top secret documents to begin in May of next year, at the height of what is expected to be a bitter presidential election campaign.
On Friday, US District Court Judge Aileen Cannon set the start of the jury trial of the former president –– the first ever to face criminal charges –– for May 20, 2024.
Prosecutors had asked for the trial to begin in December of this year, while Trump's defence attorneys had requested that it be held after the November 2024 election.
Cannon said she was setting the start of the trial for May to give both sides time to process more than 1.1 million pages of discovery evidence and confront the challenge of handling the classified documents at the heart of the case.
No one disagrees that Defendants need adequate time to review and evaluate it on their own accord," said Cannon, a Trump appointee who was randomly assigned to the high-stakes case.
The trial will be held at a federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, a city about 130 miles (210 kilometres) north of Miami in a part of Florida handily won by Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential contests.
The 77-year-old Trump is the clear frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, and the trial will begin near the end of the primary campaign to select the party's candidate.
The Republican National Convention, where the nominee will be selected, is to take place July 15-18 in Milwaukee but most of the significant primary contests will have already taken place by May 20.
The trial will not stop the onetime reality television star from campaigning, but a criminal defendant is generally required to be present during the proceedings, which are expected to last weeks, if not months.
Trump pleaded not guilty last month to some three dozen criminal counts for allegedly refusing to return sensitive government records he took when he left the White House in 2021.
According to the indictment from special counsel Jack Smith, the former president stashed hundreds of classified documents in cardboard boxes at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
Trump kept the files –– which included records from the Pentagon, CIA and National Security Agency –– unsecured at Mar-a-Lago, where large social events were regularly held, the indictment says.
The documents were kept at various locations at the estate including a ballroom, a bathroom, Trump's bedroom and a storage room, it says.
Trump faces 31 counts of "willful retention of national defence information" relating to specific documents. A conviction on each count carries up to 10 years in prison.
