The world is facing big changes in the weather. In Europe, people are feeling very high temperatures. In the United Kingdom, the temperature was more than 35C on Tuesday. This was much higher than the record from last May. France is also having a very hot summer. This happens because of a "heat dome." A heat dome is a large area of high pressure. It stays in one place and traps heat. This makes the weather much hotter than normal.
In Indonesia, the situation is different but also very bad. In the West Papua region, glaciers are disappearing very fast. The Puncak Jaya glacier is in a mountain area with many forests. Since 2002, this glacier lost 95% of its size. Between 1980 and 2024, tropical glaciers in Papua lost 97% of their ice. Now, four out of six glaciers in Papua are gone completely. This is a big change for nature.
Scientists say these problems come from global warming. Human activities and pollution have made the Earth 1.4C warmer. In Europe, the temperature rises about 0.56C every ten years. This heat and the melting ice are connected. When we use fossil fuels, the planet gets warmer. This heat causes the heat domes in Europe and melts the ice in Indonesia. Experts are worried. They say the world could become 3C warmer by the end of this century. We must understand these changes to protect our planet.
