[1/5] Fisherman Ung Bun, 39, sits in his boat out at sea off the coast of Cambodia's southern Kep province, Cambodia August 18, 2023. Ung Bun dropped the crab - a male that was too small - back into the sea. The Cambodia government's crab releasing campaign dates back to 2010 but this year it began working with Wild Earth Allies, a non-profit organisation. I can hardly afford to buy gasoline to go out to fish or pay for my children's school fees, and so I face problems with my family," Ung Bun said. "If the villagers see my work, many would not understand what I'm doing," Ung Bun said.

August was about 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial averages, which is the warming threshold that the world is trying not to pass. “Climate breakdown has begun.”Political Cartoons View All 1145 ImagesSo far, 2023 is the second hottest year on record, behind 2016, according to Copernicus. Usually an El Nino, which started earlier this year, adds extra heat to global temperatures but more so in its second year. The world has been warmer before, but that was prior to human civilization, seas were much higher and the poles were not icy. While the world's air and oceans were setting records for heat, Antarctica continued to set records for low amounts of sea ice, the WMO said.

"We have record heat waves all over the world simultaneously," says Jeff Goodell, journalist and author of the recently released book "The Heat Will Kill You First." Collectively, several countries in the Northern Hemisphere have experienced extreme heat waves this July, from Mexico to southern Europe. Extreme heat isn't just unpleasant: it can be dangerous, too. This is especially true for places with climates that don't normally experience extreme heat and where few people have air conditioners in their homes. "The risks to your body, to your health, to your life are all about your body temperature getting hotter and hotter," Goodell says.

The record was broken again on Tuesday, notching 17.18 degrees Celsius and remained at this record high level on Wednesday. climate researcher Leon Simons said via Twitter, citing the multiple heat records observed this week. A flurry of global heat records follows a series of mind-bending extreme weather events in recent months.

The University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center 3D-printed a tiny home. The modular and prefab one-bedroom unit was built using recyclable pellets and ASCC's printer. The university says it's the world's largest polymer 3D printer. In 2022, the University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) unveiled its 600-square-foot BioHome 3D, a 3D-printed "bio-based" home. But no other unit has been built with what the center says is the world's largest polymer 3D printer.
