Last Month Was the Hottest September on Record, Edging Out September 2019
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

New climate data show surface air temperatures around the globe set an
all-time high for the month of September, edging out the previous record
set last year. Satellite data show the average extent of Arctic sea ice
was at its second-lowest level ever recorded last month, as carbon
dioxide levels in the atmosphere climbed to 410 parts per million, far
above pre-industrial levels.
