Australian authorities have appealed to residents not to leave their homes today due to a severe heat wave sweeping the northwest coast of the country, where the temperature exceeds 50.7 degrees Celsius, the highest level recorded in the past 62 years.
Scientists and climate activists have sounded the alarm, warning that global warming caused by emissions of greenhouse gases, especially fossil fuels, is getting closer to out of control.
Data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration revealed this week that the warmest years ever recorded were all in the past decade, and 2021 was the sixth warmest year.
Australia is one of the world's most exposed to greenhouse gas emissions, but its government refuses to reduce its dependence on coal or industries that use other fossil fuel sources, arguing that it would be at the expense of layoffs.
