TL;DR Summary

Earth has experienced its hottest weather in 120,000 years, breaking records multiple times this week, and this trend is expected to continue due to the strengthening El Niño and human-caused climate heating. The rate of warming today is unprecedented, with humans likely causing the same amount of warming in 200 years that took 10,000 years to occur naturally after the last ice age. Earth's average temperature has not been this warm since before the last ice age, and if carbon emissions aren't reduced, temperatures may reach levels not seen in over 1 million years. While future warming trends are uncertain, immediate action is needed to address the problem and prevent further climate change.
