Record heat streak on Earth could be a sign of a new climate era

THE heat fell on The Mali capital as A thick, stifling blanket — chasing people Since THE streets, stifling them inside their houses. For almost A week has THE beginning of April, THE temperature In Bamako plane above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

What arrived In THE following little month, said Gavin Schmidt, director of THE NASA Goddard Institute For Space Studies, could indicate if Earth climate has suffered A fundamental change — A quantum leap In warming up that East confusing climate models And feed Never more dangerous weather report extremes.
