Monday was Earth’s hottest day on record, initial measurements show

First,

Monday you were part of a world record.

The hottest day ever recorded on Earth

On July 3, 2023, the average surface air temperature reached 62.618 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the previous record of 62.456 degrees set on July 24, 2022.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States recorded the record.

Typically, the average worldwide temperature rises through the end of July or the beginning of August.

With the commencement of an El Nino weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean, temperatures are projected to increase even more above historical averages throughout the course of the upcoming year.

Additionally, some 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide, which warms the earth, are still released into the atmosphere each year as a result of human activities.

The record-breaking temperature could have bad effects on the environment and people’s health. For example, higher temperatures could cause more extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and floods.

Woman Charged Nearly $30,000 for Uber Ride on Vacation

Lastly,
Have you ever did something then when you get the bill you are shocked.
That’s the story of this woman who while vacationing in Costa Rica, took an Uber ride was shocked to learn how much she was charged.
How about almost a $30,000 trip from her hotel to the airport.
The issue was a simple mistake. She was mistakenly charged in U.S. dollars rather than the Costa Rican Colón.
And getting a refund was not easy. she said it was a constant battle with both Uber and her bank,
Her bank tried to blame her. “Telling her it was because she placed the travel notice on her account, it allowed the charge to bypass security, whereas usually a charge like that would have been detected as fraud,” she said.
Her total charge of 29,994 Colóns equates to around 55 U.S. dollars.
A lesson learned. She will only use credit cards when traveling abroad and would encourage others to do the same. ” I would definitely tell people to only use credit cards when traveling internationally,” she said. “Credit card charges are easier and quicker to dispute. Also, if something does happen with your credit card it does not put all of your money on hold.
