![]() This year has already seen heat records broken around the world, with devastating consequences. “It’s not a record to celebrate and it won’t be a record for long, with northern hemisphere summer still mostly ahead and El Niño developing,” said Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment in the UK. The arrival of the natural climate phenomenon El Niño, which has a warming effect, is layering on top of the climate crisis to drive temperatures higher. This global record is a preliminary one, but it’s another indication of how fast the world is heating up. Robert Rohde, lead scientist at Berkeley Earth, said in a Twitter post on Tuesday that the world “may well see a few even warmer days over the next 6 weeks.” This week’s records are probably the warmest in “at least 100,000 years,” Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center, told CNN, calling the records “a huge thing.”Įxperts warn that the record could be broken several more times this year. While these global temperature records are based on data sets that go back to the mid-20th century, they are almost certainly the warmest the planet has seen over a much longer time period, some scientists say, given what we know from many millennia of climate data extracted from ice cores and coral reefs. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service confirmed that Monday’s and Tuesday’s global temperatures were also records in its data, which dates back to 1940. The previous record of 16.92 degrees Celsius was set in August 2016. On Tuesday, it climbed even further, reaching 17.18 degrees Celsius and global temperature remained at this record-high on Wednesday. ![]() On Monday, the average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.62 Fahrenheit), the highest in the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction’s data, which goes back to 1979. ![]() The Planeteers cannot use their individual powers while Captain Planet is "active".This week saw the hottest global temperature ever recorded, according to data from two climate tracking agencies that covers multiple decades. Nevertheless, he is weakened by pollutants which sap his strength, from smog to nuclear radiation in much the same manner that Superman is weakened by Kryptonite. In a manner similar to the early Superman, Planet has seemingly superpowers, and seems to gain more proportionate to whatever the situation requires. Captain Planet's outfit does not represent a specific culture. He has grass-green hair, sky-blue skin, earthy brown eyes, a fire-red chest, gloves, and boots, and a sun-yellow globe insignia. He is able to rearrange his molecular structure to transform himself into the various powers and elements of nature. These are not clothes but elements of the Earth that are integral to his composition. Captain Planet only appears in his Captain Planet garb. In situations that the Planeteers cannot resolve alone, they can combine their powers to summon Captain Planet, a magical entity who possesses all of their powers magnified, symbolizing the premise that the combined efforts of a team are stronger than its individual parts. The Planeteers use transportation (usually a flying machine called a Geo-Cruiser) based on solar power to avoid causing pollution themselves. Gaia uses her "Planet Vision" to discover where the most devastating destruction is occurring and sends the Planeteers to help solve the problem. These five are dubbed the Planeteers and given the task of defending the Earth in the case of the greatest of disasters and making effort to keep others from happening. Realizing that the damage is extensive, Gaia sends five magic rings, each with the power to control an element of nature and one controlling an extra element, heart, to five chosen youths across the globe: Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from Soviet Union (changed to Russian Federation after the Soviet Union's collapse), Gi from Asia and Ma-Ti from South America. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, is awakened from a long sleep by human activity threatening ecosystems, taking place across the globe.
