Paris, France:
The global temperature hovered at historical altitude in March, Europe’s climate monitor said on Tuesday, prolonging an extraordinary summer streak, which has tested scientific expectations.
In Europe, this was the hottest march recorded by a significant margin, Nenicus Climate Change Service said, “rapidly compared to any other, running the extreme of rain in an continent.
Meanwhile, the world witnessed the second hottest march in the Copernicus dataset, which maintains a record or near-record-brakeing temperature since July 2023.
Since then, in fact, at least 1.5 ° C (2.7 ° F) has been hotter every month, which was before the industrial revolution, when humanity started burning huge amount of coal, oil and gas on a large scale.
Pre-March-industrial time was 1.6C (2.9F) above the industrial time, bringing an discrepancy so much that scientists are still trying to explain it completely.
“We are still above 1.6C, which is really notable,” said Freedrak Otto of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment of Imperial College London, which is really notable. “
“We are very strongly in the grip of human-inviting climate change,” he told AFP.
Opposite extreme limit
Scientists have warned that each fraction of a degree of global warming increases the intensity and frequency of excessive weather incidence such as heat, heavy rainfall and drought.
Climate change is not only about rising temperatures, but also the knocking of all extra heat stuck in the atmosphere and seas by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
Warm seas mean high evaporation and high moisture in the atmosphere, causing heavy intense and energy to the cyclone, but also affects global rainfall patterns.
Copernicus stated that there was 0.26C (0.47F) above the last hottest record for the prescribed month in Europe in Europe.
It was also “with a one-month rainfall” with a month’s extreme “, the European Center for Medium-Rage Weather Forecast’s Samantha Burges said,” it runs the Copernicus climate monitor.
Burges stated that some parts of Europe experienced their “dry march on records and others’ for almost half a century.
Somewhere else in March, scientists said that climate change intensified an extreme heatwave in Central Asia and promoted fuel condition for excessive rainfall, killing 16 people in Argentina.
Constant heat
The great bounce in global heat became the hottest year on 2023 and then 2024 on records.
Last year was also the first full calendar year exceeding 1.5C: safe warming boundaries were agreed by most countries under the Paris Climate Agreement.
This does not represent a temporary, permanent violation of this long -term target, but scientists have warned that the target of keeping the temperature below that range is slipping out of reach.
Scientists had expected that the magic of extraordinary heat would decrease after a warming El Nino incident in early 2024, and the circumstances were gradually shifted to a cooling la neena phase.
But the global temperature is very high, the debate that promotes the debate between scientists whether other factors can warm up to the top ends of the expectations.
The European Union Monitor uses billions of measurements from satellites, ships, planes and weather stations to help its climatic calculations.
Its records go back in 1940, but other sources of climate data – such as snow core, tree ring and coral skeleton – allow scientists to expand their conclusions using much further evidence in the past.
Scientists say the current period is likely to have the hottest for the last 125,000 years.
