"This was the the warmest August and the warmest summer on record globally. And and this is happening in the moment where, as we were discussing, El Nino is no longer the main driver. We still have some warmth in the Pacific, but we still have very warm ocean elsewhere. And so it’s no longer El Nino. And of the many drivers of climate variability, I think one of the… the one we need to look into, in this case as a main responsible is really the, anthropogenic climate change and the increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere."

"We were starting from a very warm place. So January was the warmest on record, and so was February and so on and so forth. So in a sense, we have that accumulated heat into the system. And this meant that even when we reached July, which was no longer the warmest month on record, but pretty close to it, we were already halfway into the into the summer."

"What we are seeing is not, is not just a random fluctuation, is not an oddity of climate that may be due to a strange combination of one of the many factors that affect the climate on this planet, but is really, there is a disproportional effect that is induced by this long term accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."

18. SOUNDBITE (English) Carlo Buontempo, Copernicus Director:
"(Climate change) is adding on top and is always adding in the same direction. So it is not surprising that we see this heat wave, that we see these temperature extremes. And we are bound to see more because of this many, many factors, some of which are, you know, going up, some are going down. This one is constantly and consistently going up through the different years and decades."
