EU climate monitor warns: 2024 virtually certain to be the hottest year on record
ai generated text
Several recent articles from Copernicus and other sources have highlighted a trend of record-breaking temperatures on Earth. According to these reports, 2024 is likely to be the hottest year on record, surpassing the high set in 2023. This trend is attributed to the continuous increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to an acceleration in global warming.
This marks a new milestone in global temperature records and should serve as a catalyst to raise ambition for the upcoming Climate Change Conference, COP29.
It is now virtually certain that 2024 will be the warmest year on record and the first year of more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
These type of events will get worse and they will get more frequent.
It's this relentless nature of the warming that I think is worrying.
A very strong El Nino event is a sneak peek into what the new normal will be about a decade from now.
The heat waves, storm damage, and droughts that we are experiencing now are just the tip of the iceberg.
I think we have missed the 1.5 degree window.
