This year 'virtually certain' to be world's warmest ever
November 08, 2024
|The Independent
It is "virtually certain" that 2024 will be the world's warmest year on record, according to Europe's climate change service.
Devastating storms and record-breaking heatwaves have characterised a turbulent year around the world, as rising global temperatures lead to increasingly unsettled weather patterns.
Climate scientists now believe 2024 will be the first year with temperatures more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels – probably smashing the record at more than 1.55C on average – marking a “new milestone in global temperature records”.
The steep increase in global temperatures is laid bare in a graph which shows the average temperature in the past two years has been significantly higher than usual.
It should serve as a “catalyst to raise ambition” for the Cop29 climate change conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, said deputy director of the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Samantha Burgess.
