Recent data reveals that global warming has exceeded the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius over the past year, marking a significant milestone in Earth's climatic history. Surpassing this limit poses unprecedented challenges for life on our planet, urging urgent adaptation measures. In the last twelve months, temperatures soared to an average of 1.52 degrees hotter than pre-industrial levels, as reported by Copernicus, the European Union’s climate monitoring service. Notably, January recorded the highest temperature deviation, standing at 1.66 degrees warmer than the average for that month before industrialization.

00:00 Recent data reveals that global warming has exceeded the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees
00:08 Celsius over the past year, marking a significant milestone in Earth's climatic history.
00:14 Surpassing this limit poses unprecedented challenges for life on our planet, urging
00:19 urgent adaptation measures.
00:22 In the last 12 months, temperatures soared to an average of 1.52 degrees hotter than
00:28 pre-industrial levels, as reported by Copernicus, the European Union's climate monitoring
00:33 service.
00:34 Notably, January recorded the highest temperature deviation, standing at 1.66 degrees warmer
00:40 than the average for the month before industrialization.
00:44 The Paris Agreement, signed by a majority of nations in 2015, emphasized the necessity
00:48 of limiting global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, with a preferred target of 1.5 degrees.
00:53 However, the recent trend indicates a swift approach towards breaching these critical
00:58 thresholds.
00:59 Land and sea temperature records have continuously broken over the past eight months, with 2023
01:04 standing as the hottest year on record.
01:07 Moreover, January witnessed an unprecedented surge in global sea surface temperatures,
01:13 surpassing previous records by a notable margin.
01:15 Copernicus' deputy director Samantha Burgess stressed the imperative for rapid reductions
01:21 in greenhouse gas emissions to curb escalating global temperatures.
01:25 The primary driver behind the climate crisis remains human activities such as burning fossil
01:29 fuels for energy.
01:31 Additionally, the natural climate pattern of El Nino originating in the Pacific Ocean
01:36 has contributed to recent temperature spikes worldwide.
01:40 Scientists caution that extreme weather events already intensified by long-term global warming
01:44 are further exacerbated by El Nino.
01:47 This combination has led to devastating consequences, as seen in the unprecedented wildfires in
01:51 Chile, claiming numerous lives and destroying entire communities.
01:55 Similarly, California's storms have been intensified by this dual threat, resulting
02:00 in increased rainfall and destructive power.
02:03 In a sense, the convergence of human-induced climate change and natural climatic phenomena
02:08 underscores the urgent need for concerted global efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas
02:13 emissions and adapt to the changing climate landscape.
