The planet experienced the hottest January on record

The planet experienced its hottest January on record, according to data published by the EU's climate change service (C3S) Copernicu. High temperatures in the area continue.

2023 the warmest year 

This January's record heat comes as 2023 ranks as the planet's hottest year on record, based on global records dating back to 1850, such as human-caused climate change and the El Niño phenomenon, which warms waters. surface in the eastern Pacific Ocean increasing temperatures.

Every month of last year from June onwards was the hottest on record, compared to the same months in previous years.

"Not only was it the warmest January on record, but we just experienced a 12-month period 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial reference period," noted C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess.

"A rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is the only way to stop rising global temperatures," he noted.

2024 has a one in three chance of being even warmer than 2023

According to scientists in the US, 2024 has a one in three chance of being even hotter than last year and a 99% chance of ranking in the top five hottest years.

The El Niño phenomenon began to weaken last month, and scientists have indicated that it could change to its cooler counterpart, La Niña, later this year. However, last month's global average sea surface temperatures were the hottest.

In the Paris Agreement of 2015, countries agreed to make efforts to prevent global warming to avoid causing more severe and irreversible consequences.

Although the limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius was exceeded for a period of 12 months, the world has not yet exceeded the target set by the Paris Agreement, which refers to a global average temperature over decades.

Some scientists have said that this goal is no longer realistically achievable, but have called on governments to act more quickly to reduce CO2 emissions to limit excess CO2 and deadly heat, drought and sea level rise. CNA
