Calentamiento global | El 22 de julio fue el día más caluroso jamás registrado a nivel global, según datos de Copernicus

The article states that global temperatures have reached unprecedented levels in at least 125,000 years, underscoring the urgency of transitioning to decarbonized energy sources. Climate science directly attributes the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events to the burning of fossil fuels—a link that already enables holding emitters accountable for the environmental and social impacts of specific events. The narrative highlights the contradiction between the historical knowledge that major oil companies possessed regarding their emissions and their efforts to obstruct climate action. By contrasting the vast corporate profits with the economic costs of climate-related damages, the report emphasizes the application of the “polluter pays” principle, driving litigation aimed at making these companies financially responsible for the global crisis. The relevance of this article to open data lies in its reliance on satellite analyses, attribution studies, and economic impact models that require transparency and public access to scientific information. The ability to link extreme events to specific emissions and calculate damages based on the social cost of carbon demonstrates how open access to robust climate data is essential for accountability, public policy formulation, and environmental justice.
