scientists, 2024 global temperatures compared to pre-industrial times above 1.5°C for the first time he climbed on full year He declared that it was. According to data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), climate change is pushing the planet’s temperatures to a point of no return, reaching levels never experienced in modern human history.

“This situation is incredible”

C3S Director Carlo Buontempo stated that each month of 2024 has been recorded as either the warmest or the second warmest month since records began to be kept. “This situation is incredible” he said.

Average temperature in 2024, 1850-1900 compared to the pre-industrial period between 1.6°C higher was measured. This clearly shows the increase in temperature compared to the period before the widespread use of fossil fuels. Since records began last year hottest year in the world and each of the last ten years has been among the hottest ten years on record.

The Paris Climate Agreement, signed in 2015, called for cooperation between countries to prevent the global temperature increase from exceeding 1.5°C. However, according to Buontempo, due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, the world is at risk of soon exceeding this target on a long-term scale as well.

“This is not a done deal. “From now on, we have the power to change the course.” said Buontempo, emphasizing that countries should quickly reduce their emissions. The effects of climate change are now seen on every continent and affect people from the richest countries to the poorest countries in the world.

2024 has been the year of disasters

At least five people lost their lives and hundreds of houses were destroyed in the forest fires in the US state of California. In the same year, devastating fires occurred in Bolivia and Venezuela, while severe floods caused great destruction in Nepal, Sudan and Spain. Heat waves in Mexico and Saudi Arabia caused the death of thousands of people.

According to scientists, climate change increases the severity of storms and extreme rainfall. In 2024, the rate of water vapor in the planet’s atmosphere reached a record level. A warmer atmosphere leads to heavy rainfall because it can carry more water. The effects of this were frequently seen in Turkey last year.

As the devastating costs of the climate crisis continue to rise, the will to take the necessary political steps to reduce emissions is weakening in some countries. The new US president, Donald Trump, takes a stance against the scientific unity by calling climate change a “hoax”. However, in the same year, there were 24 climate and weather events in the United States that caused more than $1 billion in damage. On the other hand, C3S is the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide atmospheric concentrations in 2024 per million It reached a new peak by reaching 422 tracks. he said.
