Heat breaks new records every year around the world. The increasing heat of the year 2023 was felt all over the world. 2023 holds the record of being the hottest year on our earth so far. But soon 2024 is also going to make a record of being a hot year. This claim has been made by the European Climate Agency.
Scientists have called this estimate a danger signal for the world. According to the agency, this is the first time this year that the world has reached a temperature of more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Such a rise in temperature in one year is different from the target set in the 2015 Paris Agreement.
What is the Paris Agreement of 2015?This agreement made in Paris in 2015 is basically related to keeping the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. Scientists have warned that a temperature above 2 degrees can cause a major change in the earth's climate. Due to this disasters like rising sea levels, floods, land subsidence, drought, and forest fires can increase. Therefore, all the countries involved in it were asked to try to keep the increase in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The agency has also listed several other reasons for the rise in temperature. The biggest reason is El Nino. This phenomenon occurs in the world's largest ocean, the Pacific Ocean. Due to which the temperature becomes hot. Its arrival affects the weather around the world and a difference is seen in rain, cold and heat. The other reason is the eruption of volcanoes, the ash and smoke from which increases climate change. Scientists say that this should be seen as an alarm bell.
An important meeting is going to happenThis report has also come at a time when Republican Party leader Donald Trump, who calls climate change a hoax, has been re-elected as President. At the same time, this estimate has increased concern ahead of the United Nations Climate Conference COP29 to be held in Azerbaijan next week. This latest record gives another strong warning to the governments at COP29 that immediate action is needed to prevent further increases in temperature.
