The havoc of global warming is now visible on the earth. Every month since June 2023, the mercury has crossed the 1.5 degree limit of the Paris Agreement. Natural disasters like unbearable heat waves in summers, unseasonal rains and catastrophic floods are increasing continuously.
A European organization has revealed shocking figures. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said that June is the 13th consecutive month in which the temperature has been at a record-breaking maximum level. Despite La Nina conditions, the temperature and heat continue to rise. During the past year, the world's average temperature has exceeded the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement.
June 2024 is the hottest month on record
The month of June in the year 2024 has been the hottest month ever. The average ERA5 average surface temperature from June 1991 to 2020 was 16.66 degrees Celsius, which is 0.67 degrees Celsius higher than the average. In June 2023, it was 0.14 degrees Celsius higher. 2015-2016 was an El Niño year. Despite this, the global temperature set a new record. According to ERA5 data, this month was 1.50 degrees warmer than the average June from 1850 to 1900. The average global temperature for the last 12 months i.e. July 2023 to June 2024 was much higher than the record. It was 0.76 degrees higher than the average of 1991-2020 and 1.64 degrees higher than the pre-industrial average of 1850-1900.
The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius in the long term
According to the Paris Agreement, a long-term goal has been set to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius. However, efforts are being made to ensure that the temperature does not rise above 1.5 degrees Celsius. The temperature is likely to rise further in the next one year. Which will break the record of 2023.
