is readied to be the globe’s best year

“In all likelihood, 2024 will be the new record-breaking year. Not only that, but it’s very likely — well virtually certain now — that it will exceed the 1.5C threshold, for the first time.”

“So last year, we kept the temperature below 1.5C just by a small margin. We were 1.48C. We have been above that threshold throughout the year. So in order to keep it below 1.5C we would really need to see two impossible months of basically zero anomaly, so we do expect the temperature to shift above 1.5C significantly. So more than a tenth of a degree.”
“We are bound to see more and more excedances at the annual level. So this is the first, it won’t be the last. Every single year, it will become more likely for the temperature to pass the 1.5 threshold and eventually in five or ten years time, basically every year will be above 1.5C.”
As envoys collected in Bonn in very early June to get ready for this year’s yearly environment talks in November in Dubai, ordinary worldwide surface area air temperature levels were greater than 1.5 C over pre-industrial degrees for a number of days, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) claimed.
Copernicus Climate Change Service Director Carlo Buontempo claimed, “Every single year, it will become more likely for the temperature to pass the 1.5 threshold and eventually in five or ten years time, basically every year will be above 1.5C.”
