In 2024, Earth experienced its hottest year on record, with a significant increase in temperature that temporarily pushed the planet past a crucial climate threshold, an Earth.org라이브 바카라 report said on January 10.
2024 saw three record-warm seasons, a new record high for daily global average temperature, and an average of 41 additional days of dangerous heat worldwide, reports said.
In 2024, Earth experienced its hottest year on record, with a significant increase in temperature that temporarily pushed the planet past a crucial climate threshold, an Earth.org라이브 바카라 report said on January 10.
The global average temperature for last year exceeded the record heat of 2023 and continued to rise. It crossed the 1.5°C (2.7°F) threshold above pre-industrial levels, a critical limit set by the 2015 Paris climate agreement, according to the European Commission's Copernicus Climate Service, the UK's Meteorology Office, and Japan's weather agency.
Temperature recording teams across the globe calculated record high temperatures.
The European team calculated 1.6 degrees Celsius (2.89 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming. Japan found 1.57 degrees Celsius (2.83 degrees Fahrenheit) and the British 1.53 degrees Celsius (2.75 degrees Fahrenheit) in releases of data coordinated to early Friday morning European time.
American monitoring teams — NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the private Berkeley Earth — were to release their figures later Friday but all will likely show record heat for 2024, European scientists said. The six groups compensate for data gaps in observations that go back to 1850 — in different ways, which is why numbers vary slightly.
This is the first time any year passed the 1.5-degree threshold, except for a 2023 measurement by Berkeley Earth, which was originally funded by philanthropists who were skeptical of global warming.
Scientists were quick to point out that the 1.5 goal is for long-term warming, now defined as a 20-year average. Warming since pre-industrial times over the long term is now at 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Celsius).
More warming is likely European and British calculations figure with a cooling La Nina instead of last year's warming El Nino, 2025 is likely to be not quite as hot as 2024. They predict it will turn out to be the third-warmest. However, the first six days of January — despite frigid temperatures in the U.S. East — averaged slightly warmer and are the hottest start to a year yet, according to Copernicus data.
Sea surface temperatures remained at record highs from January to June, following the trend from late 2023. In the latter half of 2024, the temperatures were the second-warmest on record for that time of year, after the previous year.
