Part 5/9:

The report indicated that most continents have experienced record-high temperatures, excluding Antarctica and Oceania, pointing towards a broader climate crisis affecting the planet. Additionally, ocean temperatures have alarmingly surged, with the period from July to December being recorded as the second hottest ever. The El Niño phenomenon has contributed to this rise; however, human activities have been cited as the primary driver. The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other industrial activities are perpetuating the greenhouse effect, thereby trapping more heat in the atmosphere.
