PARIS: The European Union’s climate monitor reported Thursday that global temperatures were trapped at a height of a record height in April, causing an unprecedented heat wave dimensions and fears as to how fast the planet may be.
Until this year, the temperature has been stubborn or near the record level, despite expectations that the magic of the heat will be eliminated when the condition of the hot El Nano -Nano will decrease last year.
“And then 2025 comes, when we should be settled again, and instead we are left on this rapid change in warming,” said Johann Rosetrom, director of the Impact Research.
He told AFP, “And we are stuck there. What is because of this – what is explaining it – is not fully resolved, but this is a very disturbing sign.”
In its latest bulletin, the Coopernax climate change service states that April was the second hottest of its dataset, based on billions of measurements from satellite, ships, airplanes and seasonal stations.
In addition to one of the last 22 months, the first industrial level exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius, the warming range included in the Paris Agreement, which makes it a longer and lasting climate and environmental changes.
The warming trend
Many scientists believe that this target is no longer a achievement and will be crossed in the case of years.
A major study of dozens of early climate scientists, which has not yet been reviewed, has recently concluded that global warming has reached 1.36 ° C in 2024.
Coppernix keeps current data at 1.39 ° C and projects of 1.5 ° C can be reached on the basis of the warming trend in the mid -2029 or in the last 30 years.
“Now it’s a matter of four years.
The climate scientist told AFP, “The important thing is that after that, two degrees should not be teared, but focuses on 1.51.”
The French Research Institute CNRS climate scientist Julian Catux said 1.5 ° C would be “beaten before 2030” but there was no reason to withdraw.
He told AFP, “It is true that the data we are giving are worrying: the current rate of heat is high. They say that every degree count is every 10 date, but now, they are passing fast.”
“Despite everything, we should not allow it to be interrupted.”
The hottest year
Scientists agree that burning fiancé fuel has increased long -term global warming, which has made the weather disastrous more often and severe.
But they are less sure what else can play in this permanent heat of heat.
Experts believe that global cloud patterns, air -generating pollution and the natural sinking capacity of forests and the ability to store in the oceans may also be factors that contribute to more heat than the planet.
This increase advanced 2023 and then 2024 to become the hottest year in record, of which 2025 ranked third.
“The last two years … have been unusual,” Burgess said.
“They are still within the limits – or the envelope – whose climate models predicted that we could now join it. But we are at the upper end of the envelope.”
“The current rate of heat has increased sharply but whether it is true during the long -term, I am not comfortable saying,” he said, adding that more data is needed.
Coppernus returns record in 1940, but other sources of climate data – such as ice covers, trees ring and coral skeleton – allow scientists to increase their results using far more evidences than the past.
Scientists say the hottest couple of the present era has been in the last 125,000 years of Earth.
