Investing $ 1.8 trillion over the next decade - in climate change adaptation measures - could bring in net benefits worth more than $ 7 trillion. These are the conclusions of a global cost-benefit analysis, outlining five strategies for adapting the world to climate change.

The oceans, which are the source of life on Earth, could become our worst enemy globally, if nothing is done to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is said in a UN report, BTA reported.

This year's July, marked by extreme heat in Europe, replaced July 2016 and is officially the hottest ever recorded month in the world. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Programme, which analyzes temperature data from around the planet, said that July was around 0.56 °C warmer than the global average temperature between 1981-2010, CNN reported.

Anyone who insists on ignoring the warnings concerning the dangers of climate change is simply choosing to turn a blind eye to the problem. The effects from the irreversible warming of the planet are evident not just from myriad respected scientific studies, but from our own experience.

The ten hottest summers in modern history have been reported since 1998, reported NOVA TV. 

Climate warming will lead to extreme temperatures being observed in large parts of the world by the end of this century, CNN and BTA reported.

Data is contained in a study published in the journal "Natural Climate Change".

Australia's most populous state of New South Wales on Tuesday imposed water restrictions for the first time in a decade with dam levels at just over 50% due to a prolonged drought, reported Euronews.
