Is 2024 the hottest year?

Researchers say that with the soaring global ocean temperature and the arrival of El Ni? o in the Pacific Ocean, 2023 may become the hottest year on record, and the earth is moving towards "unknown territory". The hottest year recorded before is 20 16, and the temperature record in June shows that the temperature in 2023 may be close to 20 16.

According to the data of the European Union's Earth Observation Plan-Copernicus Plan, the peak temperature appeared on June 9, when the global average temperature was 16.7℃, which was only 0. 1℃ lower than the highest temperature recorded on August 3, 20/kloc-0. It is worth noting that although human-driven climate change is still warming the world, there is no evidence that this process will accelerate in 2023.

Coupled with the current climate change caused by the temperature rise of 1.3℃, the superposition of specific warming conditions makes the temperature record hit record highs. Scientists have been warning that the ocean surface temperature has reached the highest level in history due to a series of ocean heat waves around the world. On June 1 1 day, the temperature in the North Atlantic reached the highest point of 22.7℃, which was 0.5℃ higher than the highest record in June 20 10.

The reason why the weather is getting hot

Due to global warming, the weather is getting hotter every year. Now the global temperature is warming, the ozone layer is thinning, and the greenhouse effect is making icebergs begin to melt. Urban heat island effect and the increase of global carbon dioxide content lead to the increase of atmospheric temperature. Therefore, it is understandable that the ozone layer becomes thinner and the temperature rises.

The change of sea level is on the rise. According to the prediction of relevant experts, the sea level may rise by 50 cm by the middle of the next century. If countermeasures are not taken, it will directly lead to the destruction and pollution of fresh water resources and other adverse consequences.

Following 20 14 and 20 15, 20 16 once again broke the global average temperature record and became the hottest year in modern history. Monitoring data show that since the middle and late 20th century, the earth's temperature is accelerating warming, and the warming speed in the northern hemisphere is faster than that in the southern hemisphere.
