According to the EU Climate Changes (C3S), the average global temperature from January to October 2024 was so high that this year is likely to set a new temperature record unless a sharp climatic anomaly occurs in the coming months. Such an indicator increases the concern of scientists due to the growth of the general tendency for warming.
Experts call the main cause of record temperatures. Carlo Buontempo, director C3S, noted that "the temperature rises on all continents and in all oceans, so we will undoubtedly see new records." This warming covers not only land arrays, but also oceans, which significantly affects global climatic systems.
Despite the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, under which states have pledged to contain global warming within 1.5 ° C, scientists predict that this critical threshold will be reached by 2030. Sonia Senevity, climatologist with C3S, emphasized that the delay in active actions at the global level makes the holding of this threshold less likely. She also noted that every new temperature jump leads to increased extreme weather phenomena, which are already becoming more destructive.
