The heat of the earth is increasing day by day. Scientists also continue to express concern about the rising temperature of the earth. One such incident has happened recently, due to which once again concern has increased on this matter. The fire in the forests of California, USA, has increased the world’s tension on this issue. After this, scientists gave such news that will further increase the stress of common people. Indeed, as the death toll from wildfires in California mounted, scientists confirmed on Friday that the world has experienced the first year in which temperatures have warmed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times.
According to a report by TOI, this shocking news has been confirmed by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). It says climate change is pushing the planet’s temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. Carlo Buontempo, director of C3S, said of the issue that “it is unbelievable”.
Why Earth’s temperature has been increasing since last 10 years, let’s know:
Carlo Buontempo explained how every month in 2024 was the warmest month or the second warmest month since records began. C3S said the planet’s average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than during the industrial era of 1850-1900. Last year was the world’s warmest year since records began, and the past 10 years have been the warmest 10 years on record. Forest fires are one of the many disasters that are becoming more frequent due to climate change. The fire in Los Angeles has killed 10 people and destroyed nearly 10,000 buildings. It is worth noting that there have been fires in this area before, but experts are saying that this time, the wind speed of the storm is between 130 to 160 km per hour. These winds are not only fueling the fire but also thwarting all efforts to extinguish it.
