The United Nations said new data from its World Meteorological Organization (WMO), gathered in partnership with the European Copernicus Climate Change Service, shows July will be the hottest month ever recorded on the planet.
What can be done?
The multilateral development banks should"leverage their funds to mobilize much more private finance at reasonable cost to developing countries — and scale up their funding to renewables, adaptation and loss and damage. Developed countries need to honor their commitments to provide $100 billion a year to developing countries for climate support and to present"clear and credible" roadmaps to double finance by 2025 for the cause.
Financial institutions must stop lending money to fund fossil extraction, shifting their underwriting and investments to renewables instead.

The impact of climate change on endangered plants and lichenThe Endangered Species Act (ESA) was a landmark protection for rare organisms in the United States. Although the ESA is known for its protection of wildlife, a majority of listed species are actually plants and lichen. Climate change will impact species populations globally. Already-rare species, like those listed in the ESA, are at an even higher risk due to climate change. Despite this, the risk climate change poses to endangered plants has not been systematically evaluated in over a decade. To address this gap, we modified previously existing qualitative assessment toolkits used to examine the threat of climate change in federal documentation on listed wildlife. These modified toolkits were then applied to the 771 ESA listed plants. First, we evaluated how sensitive ESA listed plants and lichens were to climate change based on nine quantitative sensitivity factors. Then, we evaluated if climate change was recognized as a threat for a species, and if actions were being taken to address the threats of climate change. We found that all ESA listed plant and lichen species are at least slightly (score of 1) sensitive to climate change, and therefore all listed plants and lichens are threatened by climate change. While a majority of ESA listing and recovery documents recognized climate change as a threat, very few had actions being taken in their recovery plans to address climate change directly. While acknowledging the threat that climate change poses to rare plants is an important first step, direct action will need to be taken to ensure the recovery of many of these species.

Study finds climate change fingerprints on July heat waves in Europe, China and AmericaThe fingerprints of climate change are all over the intense heat waves gripping the globe this month, a new study finds. Researchers say the deadly hot spells in the American Southwest and Southern Europe could not have happened without the continuing buildup of warming gases in the air. The same research found the increase in heat-trapping gases, largely from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas has made another heat wave — the one in China — 50 times more likely with the potential to occur every five years or so.
