2024 Worlds Warmest Year: The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) of the European Union has made a big revelation that the year 2024 proved to be the hottest year in history. The average global temperature from January to November was 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than in the pre-industrial era (1850-1900). Let us tell you that earlier 2023 was recorded as the hottest year. According to experts, this increasing heat is a direct result of climate change caused by humans.
This year, terrible natural disasters were seen all over the world. There was drought in Italy and South America, while floods caused devastation in Nepal, Sudan and Europe. Thousands of people lost their lives due to heatwave in Mexico, Mali and Saudi Arabia. Destructive cyclones wreaked havoc in countries like America and Philippines. Scientists say that due to climate change such incidents may become more serious in the future.
Copernicus climate expert Julian Nicholas warned
According to records, the month of November this year was also unusually hot. Copernicus climate expert Julian Nicholas says that the temperature is continuously increasing and this situation may worsen in the future. He warned that it is extremely important to stop the increasing use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions. If this is not done then one day the world will start burning like a tandoor.
Scientists have their eyes set on next year
Scientists say that climate patterns like El Nino and La Nina affect the temperature. Scientist Frederick Otto of Imperial College London said that next year the temperature may drop slightly due to the effect of La Nina instead of El Nino. He also said that this does not at all mean that the situation will be normal. There is a possibility that in the coming years we may have to face disasters like heatwave, drought, wildfire and cyclone.
need to take immediate action
C3S also said that CO2 emissions will remain at a record level in 2024. Although many countries had promised to reduce it. In such a situation, it is very important to reduce carbon emissions to zero to deal with this crisis of climate change. If concrete steps are not taken immediately in this direction, it can prove disastrous for the entire world.
