Global boiling is the description given by the Secretary-General of the United Nations (Antonio Guterres) to the extreme hot weather the world is witnessing and the record high global temperatures recorded this month of July, which prompted him to say (the era of global climate warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived).
In light of this, many countries have witnessed unprecedented intense heat waves as one of the most prominent effects of the climate change crisis that threatens the entire world, and which poses more challenges, especially with regard to economic activity. The world is burning, the behavioral moods of some individuals are lacking, and the economies of some countries are disappearing, and with the continued rise Global temperatures create extreme weather events, causing more devastation and leading to higher costs and losses.
Good question, Dr Ali Saadi Abdulzahra Jubeir
I had just been reading in Nature that Earth just had its hottest year on record; the reference was:

Climate change is down to man; all nations need to take urgent action to minimise their carbon footprint. For the sake of the next generations.
Global warming does not seem too bad, and the Guardian newspaper now uses the term ‘global heating‘ instead to emphasise how serious the problem is. The term boiling describes something worse than heating since it relates to 100 degrees Celsius the temperature of boiling water.
Dear Doctor
"As the UN tells the world the planet has entered a new era of "global boiling", what does the term mean and how will it affect life in the near future?
July 6 is reported to have been the hottest day on Earth since mean global temperatures were first calculated in 1979, reaching an average temperature of 17.18ºC, data from the US Centres for Environmental Prediction indicates.
While that number is well below the scientific boiling point of 100ºC that turns water from liquid into gas, "global boiling" is a term recently used to underline the severity of climate change."
