ScienceAlert: July was the hottest month on record, but 2024 looks even hotter

NASA confirmed today that July 2023 is the hottest monthly since 1880.

Anyone who pays even the slightest attention will know that this is not a big surprise. The heartbreaking disasters still Cascading across the worldYou have been converted Earth’s into a painful reality.

NASA data confirms that billions of people around the globe literally felt it: July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded. Americans are experiencing the effects of climate change in every corner of America. The following is a list of words that begin with the word “you”NASA Administrator Bill Nelson

The science is clear. Act now to protect your communities. [our livable]Planet; it’s our only one.”

We experienced a heatwave from July 3 to August 7. 36 Days StraightThe temperature is higher than any previous record.

The mass of fossil fuels we’ve poured into our atmosphere, coupled with Earth’s shift from La Nino to El Niño, has forced tens of millions of people to direcftly endure the severe heat of recent few months. Many in China are experiencing extreme heat. Take refuge from the heatHundreds of heat-related illnesses were reported, and hundreds died in air raid shelters.

This excess energy has caused havoc to the planet. Earth’s atmospheric, glacial. Ocean systems. As fires ravage Canada, Russia, Europe, AfricaHurricanes and monsoons fueled flooding in Hawaii and other parts of The US, Middle East, AsiaThe following are some examples of how to get started: Europe.

NOAA says that in light of these records, 2023 is likely to be the hottest year ever since humans began recording temperatures.

“2023 so far has been the third hottest year on record,” Sarah Kapnick is the chief scientist at NOAA Tell AFP .

“It is virtually certain – over 99 percent chance – that 2023 will rank among the five warmest years on record with a nearly 50 percent probability that 2023 will rank warmest on record.”

We are on uncharted terrain.

“The biggest impact of El Niño will actually occur in 2024,” director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Gavin Schmidt, Tell AFP. “We’re expecting that 2023 will not only be exceptionally hot and perhaps a record year, but that 2024 may be even warmer.”

All this is happening at only about 1.1°C of warming and we’ve currently locked in about 0.4°C more. For many, it’s too late. AnimalsMany people, many ecosystems and some homes.

Coral reefs along the US Coast One hundred percent mortalityThis heat also interfered with attempts to help reef recovery and increase resilience.

This doesn’t mean that it’s too early to act. We can save future lives by reducing the temperature even a fraction.

These extremes, and the events that accompany them, are not only frightening but also a source of great excitement. Climate model predictions are well within expectations when the El Niño conditions are accounted for.

It does not mean the problem will not get worse. Just because global temperatures are not “worse that we thought” doesn’t mean it won’t. ExplainedIn a recent blog, Berkley’s climatologist Zeke Hausfather.

After Warnings for decadesStopping fossil-fuel emissions is still the number one priority. However, companies who are responsible for them continue to reap. Profits that are mind-blowingYou can also find out more about continued supportThe world’s leaders.

We will not be able to achieve our goals unless we take some drastic steps. Changes system-wide, Earth’s The era of the stag is over.
