For the first time on record, last year’s average temperatures crossed an annual anomaly of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. 🌡    But the trend is not new. Each of the past 10 years (2015–2024) was one of the 10 warmest years on record.    While this does not mean we have breached the limit set by the Paris Agreement — which refers to an average over at least 20 years — it shows that global temperatures are rising beyond what we have ever experienced.     These figures are a wake-up call. The need for bold, urgent climate action has never been clearer. Read the full Copernicus ECMWF report: https://lnkd.in/djDXHDez

On July 21, 2024, the Climate Shift Index indicated 3.5 billion people globally experienced excessive temperatures made at least 3 times more likely due to climate change. Copernicus ECMWF data showed the daily global average temperature reached a then-record 17.09°C (which was then broken July 22nd, with an average temperature of 17.15°C) Explore the #ClimateShiftIndex & see how climate change is impacting temperatures across the globe → csi.climatecentral.org

According to the Copernicus Climate preliminary data, Monday was the hottest day, we’ve had in a long time. “On 22 July 2024*, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high in the ERA5 dataset**, at 17.15°C. This exceeds the previous records of 17.09°C, set just one day before on 21 July 2024, and 17.08°C, set a year earlier on 6 July 2023.” Daily global average surface air temperature for 2024 (red), 2023 (orange), and all years between 1940 and 2022 (grey). Red shading indicates the difference between the daily global average temperatures from 2023 to 2024, for days where 2024 has been warmer than 2023. Data for 22 July 2024 is preliminary.

As temperatures exceeded the 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit over the past year, scientists caution that this could happen again soon. The data disclosed by European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change indicated that May marked the 12th straight month where average global temperatures exceeded all recorded observations since 1850, and likely any prolonged span for over 100,000 years.

2024 was officially the hottest year on record, with Earth's average temperature surpassing 1.5°C above preindustrial levels for the first time in history. According to a report from the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service, the global temperature reached 15.10°C, 1.6°C higher than the 1850–1900 average. This milestone marks a dangerous warming threshold, and the year also set records for atmospheric greenhouse gases, air temperatures, and sea surface temperatures. July 22, 2024, saw a record global temperature of 17.16°C. This unprecedented heat has already led to a rise in extreme weather events such as wildfires, droughts, and more intense hurricanes. While parts of the world have exceeded the 1.5°C threshold in recent years, 2024 is the first time the entire planet has done so. To mitigate these impacts, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is critical to preventing further temperature increases.

June 2024 was hotter than any other June on record, and it was the 12th consecutive month in a row with temperatures greater than 1.5C compared to the pre-industrial average. All of this according to new data just released by Copernicus ECMWF. Average global temperature anomaly for the last twelve months was 1.64C above pre-industrial. This does not (yet) imply that the Paris Agreement is broken (which looks at long-term averages), but at this rate of warming we will exceed the 1.5C threshold in the early 2030s. The very sad thing: these news sound like a broken record. We hear them over and over again; we became used to red lines trending above averages. BUT every new record should make us rethink how we act (and not act), who we vote for, what we tell our kids, where we invest in... == Press Release by Copernicus: https://lnkd.in/dyXh38Gy #climatechange, #sustainability

THE CLIMATE CHANGE DILEMMA AND RE-EVALUATION Climate-crises rethinking are very easy, it is just to look all around, wherever you are, and see how much humans messed up with a natural environment that gradually evolved and reached a dynamic start of balance over 12-10,000 years after, in continuation of multi-millions of years of wild chaos and rebalancing. Humans, the newcomers, jumped right in selfishly, greedily, arrogantly, self-centeredly, business-as-usua-ly, war-addicters, wildlife-killers and carelessly took advantage of every single thing that our ex-bountiful Earth once had. This with no respect/consideration and did not bother about the disposals (see the New giant 7th Continment built of waste plastic and rubbish in the middle of the Pacific Ocean). It has been simply use-and-dump away without even looking back...Forests were burnt down for pesticide-grown GMO's single-species crops or to build concrete cities as if "Mother Earth" would everlasting resist it and would not mind (without a "repayment") With the most advanced "computer" in existence above our shoulders, it was so obvious to simply think over acts and realize that there would be a time for "reprisal" with proportional consequences. We could continually extract, destruct and waste forever, in parallel with an 8,1 billion (and growing population), struggling for the same benefits of the well-offs (riches) In front of international laws, Nature and "God" we are supposed to be all equal But now we are beginning to live this natural reset/ rebalancing that is a result of self-inflicting "revenge" and are now distressedly and randomly running around as little ants trying to disengage and fix the wild spread natural rebooting catastrophes. Let's rethink the above and know that there will be a long and bumpy road riding "back home"... 

Global temperatures have hit the highest levels in recorded history. An extreme heat event that would have occurred once in 50 years in a climate without human influence is now nearly five times as likely. Extreme heat kills. Later is too late for action. https://lnkd.in/eHApwVzM

Another Red Alert 🚨 🛑 The average global temperature has been 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era for 12 successive months, according to new data issued by Copernicus ECMWF #ClimateChange Service. 🌡 It was the hottest June on record for the globe and the 13th month in a row to set a monthly temperature record. Indeed, the global-average temperature for the past 12 month period (July 2023 – June 2024) is 1.64°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average, according to the ERA5 dataset. These latest figures unfortunately highlight that we will be exceeding the 1.5°C level on a temporary basis with increasing frequency. However, it is important to stress that temporary breaches do not mean that the 1.5 °C goal is permanently lost because this refers to long-term warming over at least two decades. We need urgent and concerted #ClimateAction to slash greenhouse gas emissions and flatten the curve. What we have seen in the past 12 months is just a foretaste of the future. https://bit.ly/3W2Ozd8

Obviously sea surface temperatures are not the same thing as the temperatures on the street you live on. If we instead think of when we have a fever in our own bodies… the graph below shows sea surface temperatures that equate to a fever that is 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above your normal body temperature. You definitely know you have a fever and your body forces you to change your behavior in attempt to reduce that fever and get back to normal. Earth is responding to its fever. And just as we can track how we might have gotten sick, plus what we might do to bring that fever down, the same is true for Earth. The choices made by men that led to Earth having a fever can be changed to bring that fever down. We know better now. We need to do better. The simple principle to remember and repeat is that we’ve* been centering the economy over our habitat and now we need to shift. If we make decisions that center our habitat, Earth can return to its normal temperature. I say this everyday, in every conversation. It takes all the stuff we’ve been divided on out of the equation. It surpasses the current norms and policies and gives every person common ground to work from. *Not everyone centers the economy. The Indigenous communities understand and live to care for our habitat. This statement is aimed at the collective capitalist society.
