#January #sets #surprising #heat #record
January was the hottest January in January, Europe’s climate monitor said on Thursday, despite expectations that the cold La Nina’s conditions could eliminate the record -breaking global temperature.
The Coopernax climate change service said that before January, the industrial age was hot on January 1.75 ° C, which extended the permanent race of the history height in 2023 and 2024, because of human beings of greenhouse gases Extracts give a crank to the global thermostat.
Climate scientists expected that this extraordinary magic would diminish after the launch of a warming El Nano event in January 2024, and the situation gradually moved to an opponent, cooling lanna phase.
But since then, the heat is recorded on the record or record level, after which the debate among scientists is due to other factors that can advance the heat to the top of the expectations.
“This is something that makes it surprising … You are not seeing this cooling effect, or at least, at global temperatures we were expecting.” Tell AFP.
La Nina is expected to weaken, and Copernax said the current temperature in some parts of the Equal Pacific has suggested “slowing down or preventing the pace of cooling trends” –
Nicholas said it could disappear completely by March.
Ocean warmth
Last month, Copernax said that the global temperature has exceeded 1.5 ° C for the first time in 2023 and 2024.
It did not represent a permanent violation of the long-term 1.5 ° C warming target under the Paris climate agreement-but there is a clear sign that the limit is being examined.
Scientists have warned that every part of the heat to an extent to more than 1.5 ° C increases the severity and frequency of severe climatic events such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall and drought.
Coopernax said that in January, Arctic C ice reduced the monthly record, which is practically tied to 2018. This week, the US analysis put it in the second lowest location in the dataset.
Overall, 2025, it is not expected that they will follow 2023 and 2024 in history books: Scientists have predicted that it will still get the third highest year status.
Coopernax said he would close closely at sea temperatures in 2025, indicating what could be treated about climate behavior.
The sea is an important climate regulator and carbon sink, and the cold water can absorb high heat from the environment, which helps reduce air temperature.
They also store 90 % of additional heat trapped by the release of humanity’s greenhouse gases.
“This temperature is obliged to be reproduced from time to time,” said Nicholas.
“I think this is also a question – is that happening in the last two years?”
The sea level has been extraordinarily warm between 2023 and 2024, and Copernicks said reading in January was the second highest in record.
Nicholas said, “This is something that’s a little surprising. Why do they stay so hot?”
Controversy
Scientists agree that burning of foam fuel has widely promoted long -term global warming, and natural climate variations can affect temperatures one year by next year.
But natural warming cycles like El Nano could not only explain what happened in the environment and the oceans, and the answers were being sought somewhere.
One theory is that in 2020, the clearing of cleaners in the global shift in the fuel has increased the heat by reducing the emission of sulfur, which reflects the clouds like a mirror and reflects sunlight.
In December, another peer reviewing dissertation considered whether the reduction in the clouds below has further allowed the heat to reach the surface of the earth.
Nicholas said, “This is still a matter of debate.”
The European Union monitors use billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and seasonal stations to help in their climate calculation.
Its records return in 1940, but other sources of climate data – such as ice core, tree ring and coral skeleton – scientists to expand their results using many more evidences in the past. Give permission.
Scientists say that life is likely to live in the period that the earth is the hottest for the last 125,000 years.
