European scientists say last month was the warmest January on record. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service says the previous warmest January was in 2020, according to their records going back to 1950. The EU scientists say every month since June has been the hottest on record, and blame the global warming on human caused climate change and the El Niño weather pattern. A deputy director of the EU weather service says the only way to stop global temperatures from rising is with rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
