Earth recorded it. Hottest year Sometime in 2024, a major climate threshold is set to pass, the Associated Press news agency reported Friday, citing climate monitoring agencies.

This news has come in the context of the terrible forest fire in the city of Las Vegas, California, which is the heartland of America’s film industry ‘Hollywood’.

“It’s a warning light going on Earth’s dashboard that needs immediate attention,” the AP report quoted Marshall Shepherd, a professor of meteorology at the University of Georgia, as saying, “Hurricane Helen, Spain. Flooding and severe weather are fueling wildfires in California. We still have a few gears left.”

2024, Earth’s hottest year on record

Last year’s global average temperature easily surpassed 2023’s record warming and is on track to exceed the long-term warming range from the late 1800s to 2015 by 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). ) is crossed. The Paris Climate AgreementAccording to the European Commission’s Copernicus Climate Service, the UK Meteorological Office and the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The European team measured 1.6 degrees Celsius (2.89 degrees Fahrenheit), Japan 1.57 degrees Celsius (2.83 degrees Fahrenheit) and Britain 1.53 degrees Celsius (2.75 degrees Fahrenheit), as of Friday morning European time. In data release. The report mentioned.

The European Union agency said on Friday that global temperatures are “moving beyond what modern humans have ever experienced”.

However, this still does not mean that the internationally agreed 1.5C temperature limit has been permanently breached, but the Copernicus Climate Change Service said it was getting dangerously close, a FP report said.

Los Angeles is battling deadly wildfires that have destroyed thousands of buildings and displaced tens of thousands of people. US President Joe Biden described the California fires as the most “catastrophic” yet, stressing that they are proof that “climate change is real.”

Copernicus reported that the extraordinary warming could cause average temperatures in 2023 and 2024 to rise more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

In 2015, nearly 200 countries agreed in Paris that limiting global warming to 1.5C is critical to avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. However, the world is far from achieving this goal.

“We are now teetering on the brink of crossing the 1.5C threshold,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy climate director at Copernicus.
