UN weather experts from the WMO confirmed on Friday that 2024 was the hottest year on record, at 1.55 degrees Celsius (C) above pre-industrial temperatures.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe saw extraordinary land, sea surface temperatures, extraordinary ocean heat accompanied by very extreme weather affecting many countries around the world, destroying lives, livelihoods, hopes and dreams,\u201d WMO<\/a> spokesperson Clare Nullis said. \u201cWe saw many climate change impacts retreating sea ice glaciers. It was an extraordinary year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four of the six international datasets crunched by WMO indicated a higher than 1.5\u2103 global average increase for the whole of last year<\/strong> but two did not. <\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 1.5\u2103 marker is significant because it was a key goal of the 2015 <\/strong>Paris Agreement<\/strong><\/a> to try to ensure that global temperature change does not rise more than this above pre-industrial levels, while striving to hold the overall increase to well below 2\u2103.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Climate deal under pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Agreement is \u201cnot yet dead but in grave danger\u201d,<\/strong> the WMO maintained, explaining that the accord\u2019s long-term temperature goals are measured over decades, rather than individual years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo insisted that \u201cclimate history is playing out before our eyes<\/strong>. We\u2019ve had not just one or two record-breaking years, but a full ten-year series. \u201cIt is essential to recognize that every fraction of a degree of warming matters<\/strong>. Whether it is at a level below or above 1.5C of warming, every additional increment of global warming increases the impacts on our lives, economies and our planet.\u201d<\/p>

LA fires: climate change factor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amid still raging deadly wildfires in Los Angeles<\/a> that weather experts including the WMO insist have been exacerbated by climate change – with more days of dry, warm, windy weather on top of rains which boosted vegetation growth \u2013 the UN agency said that 2024 capped a decade-long \u201cextraordinary streak of record-breaking temperatures<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UN <\/strong>Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/strong><\/a> described the WMO\u2019s findings as further proof of global warming<\/strong> and urged all governments to deliver new national climate action plans this year to limit long-term global temperature rise to 1.5C \u2013 and support the most vulnerable deal with devastating climate impacts.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIndividual years pushing past the 1.5\u2103 limit do not mean the long-term goal is shot,\u201d Mr. Guterres said. \u201cIt means we need to fight even harder to get on track. Blazing temperatures in 2024 require trail-blazing climate action in 2025<\/strong>,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act \u2013 now.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The datasets used by WMO are from the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the Japan Meteorological Agency, NASA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the UK Met Office in collaboration with the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (HadCRUT) and Berkeley Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen back to an interview climate scientist Alvaro Silva at the WMO, following the heat alert in the United States at the end of June: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ocean warming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting a separate scientific study on ocean warming, WMO said that it had played a key role in last year\u2019s record high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ocean is the warmest it has ever been as recorded by humans, not only at the surface but also for the upper 2,000 metres,\u201d the UN agency said, citing the findings of the international study spanning seven countries and published in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WMO noted that about 90 per cent of the excess heat from global warming is stored in the ocean, \u201cmaking ocean heat content a critical indicator of climate change\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put the study\u2019s findings into perspective, it explained that from 2023 to 2024, the upper 2,000 metres of ocean became warmer by 16 zettajoules (1,021 Joules), which is about 140 times the world\u2019s total electricity output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
