United Kingdom: European climate experts have revealed that global warming has exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius over a 12-month period. It is the first-ever time the Earth is bu+rning like this and researchers have called this a “warning to humanity.”
European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) monitored the temperature between February 2023 and January 2024 and recorded the highest 12-month global temperature average on Thursday.
2023 was the hottest year in global records since 1850 because of the El Nino phenomenon, which warms the surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, along with storms, droughts and fires.
According to C3S, the extremes have persisted into 2024, validating the 1.52°C annual warming above the 19th century baseline.
However, Scientists stated that the world has not yet permanently surpassed the Paris climate agreement’s crucial 1.5°C warming threshold target, which is calculated over several decades.
The Paris Climate Agreement has been signed by almost 200 governments in 2015 to eliminate fossil fuels in support of renewable energy in the second half of the century.
“Rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are the only way to stop global temperatures increasing,” C3S Deputy Director Samantha Burgess said.
Previous year the United Nations claimed that the world is not on track to meet the Agreement’s long term objectives. Meanwhile, some scientists said that, Paris Climate Agreement is not practically possible, as per the statement.
NASA launched the ‘Pace satellite’ to study the world’s oceans and atmosphere in depth. The satellite will scan the Earth for three years. PACE is short for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean EcosystemIt is the most modern mission ever carried out to study ocean biology.
