Science News: The temperature of the earth is increasing day by day. Scientists also continue to express concern about the increasing temperature of the earth. One such incident has happened recently. Due to which once again the concern has increased on this matter. The fire in the forests of California, USA, has increased the concern of the world on this matter.
After this, scientists gave such news which will further increase the concern of common people. Indeed, as the death toll from wildfires in California continues to rise, 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 TOI report, the surprising news has been confirmed by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). It states that climate change is pushing the planet’s temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. “It’s unbelievable,” C3S director Carlo Buontempo said of the issue.
Why is the Earth’s temperature increasing for the last 10 years?
They explained how every month in 2024 has been 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 pre-industrial period of 1850-1900. Last year was the world’s hottest year since records began and the past 10 years have been the 10 warmest years on record. Wildfires are one of the many disasters that continue to occur due to climate change. The fire in Los Angeles has killed 10 people and destroyed nearly 10,000 buildings.
It is to be noted that there have been incidents of fire in this area before, but experts are saying that this time the speed of stormy winds is 130 to 160 km per hour. These winds are not only fueling the fire but also thwarting all efforts to extinguish it.
