2024 could be even hotter. Read more at straitstimes.com.
Simultaneous heatwaves are suffocating the United States, much of Europe and parts of Asia, while El Nino intensifies in the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic waters off Florida hit an unprecedented 32.2 deg C.
Researchers will finalise annual temperature rankings in January. To date, the hottest year on record is a tie between 2016 and 2020. Earth has already warmed 1.2 deg C since the preindustrial era due to growing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. This has resulted in a clear trend: 22 of the last 23 years were the hottest ever.
“Every time we have an El Nino event, we get a small peek into the future. This is what is going to be the new normal for the climate in five to 10 years if our emissions keep at current levels and don’t decrease rapidly,” Dr Hausfather said. Heatwaves have plagued Japan, India and the US, which has also struggled with devastating flooding in the North-east. Drought now grips Europe, following record spring heat in the Mediterranean. Canada is wrestling with out of control wildfires, which have unleashed waves of dangerous smoke on millions of people across North America.
“We haven’t had an El Nino event at this level of global warming,” said Brown University’s climate scientist, Dr Kim Cobb. “Maybe that’s an obvious statement, but I think it still needs to be said.”The implication is we do not really know what is in store, Dr Cobb warned, adding that El Nino is only just beginning, “and it’s forecast to get quite a bit stronger”.
