This year has been the warmest on record

The transcript discusses unusual seasonal weather patterns, highlighting how winter feels like spring and autumn like summer. It emphasizes that while one hot year doesn't constitute a global warming crisis, the consistent pattern of warmer-than-average months suggests a significant climate change trend. Human activities, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, are identified as major contributors to this change. The transcript also notes that global temperature records are being broken, and adaptation to these changes is necessary, as seen in Kew Gardens. The potential threats to species from a hotter planet are also discussed.
