Experts talk about the threat of irreversible consequences for the environment, from dangerous heat to increased precipitation, from rising sea levels to the extinction of some animal species on the planet.
The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has confirmed that global temperatures have risen above the critical threshold of 1.5°C for the first time compared to pre-industrial levels. BBC reports this.
Cardo Buontempo, director of Copernicus, says every month of last year was the hottest or second hottest on record. He added that the average temperature in the world is 1.6°C higher than in 1850-1900, and the last 10 years have become the hottest years in history.
The media writes that climate change leads to an increase in the frequency of catastrophic events, especially forest fires. Although climate change has begun to affect life across the planet, it has now become clear that the political will on this issue has begun to weaken in some countries.
Climate scientists estimate that last year saw record levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at more than 422 parts per million. The British Met Office believes that temperatures may be extremely high again in 2025, but for now it is stated that this increase is due to natural events such as El Niño.
Journalists write that the consequences of warming could include more frequent and intense extreme weather conditions, especially heat waves and heavy rains. Sea levels are also expected to rise and many animal species to die.
It has previously been reported that the Earth’s boiling rate has accelerated incredibly. Researchers are finding alarming evidence that the rate of global warming is inexorably increasing.
It was also understood why the Earth’s climate changed from drought to flood. In a new study, scientists revealed how human-caused global warming affects the amount and pattern of precipitation.
