Why the global temperature record streak continues | DW News

11 straight months of record breaking heat on the globe, that's according to the latest report by the EU's Copernicus Climate Service. Last month was the hottest April since records began, capping almost an entire year of global temperature records. Worldwide, average temperatures were almost 0.7 degrees Celsius higher than the period from 1991 to 2020. Eastern Europe, eastern Asia and Africa have been hit the hardest. The oceans also measured record temperatures in April - for the thirteenth month in a row.

@@RobertMJohnson The scientific evidence exists since the 1980s. Already the primitive climate models of the 1970s where nearly spot on regarding the temperature increase of the last 50 years.

Flooding will hit certain areas particularly hard. PBS Terra covers the topic. For particular regions “100” year floods are now 35 or even 8 year floods. Look at the 1000s of dams everywhere no longer fit for purpose

[@geofflepper3207]

People have the belief that homes will need to be abandoned only when they are permanently and constantly flooded by the sea but once a home starts getting severely damaged once every 8 years by flooding people don't want to keep repairing homes that they know will get severely damaged again in another few years. And national governments definitely don't want to subsidize repairs to homes that will get severely damaged again in just a few years.

[@GhostOnTheHalfShell]

@@geofflepper3207 “100” year floods have little to do with the sea, rather enormous rainstorms, like those that struck Vermont and New Jersey last year, or the flooding this year in Texas, or in China, or the flooding leading to the dam failures in Africa and Brazil just recently. No infrastructure has been designed for these conditions and the risk assessment methods used in the past are now obsolete. They cannot represent the impact of the water vapor payload a warmer atmosphere brings. The task of updating risk assessment is huge itself. Extreme events will lash our dams, factories, farms and cities over and over. Until nations get smart and restore ecologies to absorb repeated inundation and green cities to absorb rain rather than have it run off on concrete, the repeated damage will eventually obliterate most productive capacity.

Air, land, and sea temp's. have been on a steady increase since at least Jan. 2023 and are rising at a rate of 1/3 deg C every year over the previous year, so 1 degC every 3 yrs.! At this rate, we will hit 3 degC over the 1991-2020 baseline ave. by 2028, when this was not predicted to occur until at least 2050. How much more evidence do we need to realize that we have crossed the "tipping point"? Our planet's temperature stabilizing capacity, from melting global ice, heating seas, and water vapor production, is no longer capable of lowering the planet's temp. We are now on a slow burn trajectory. Please do as I have been and follow C3S (Copernicus Climate Science Service--EU) and especially their "Climate Pulse" feature for daily temp's. and their "anomalies". You'd better be sitting down when you do.

[@r.a.6459]

We might be looking at 6°C to 8°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. Concentrations of methane spiking wildly leading to sea levels rising by 20-30 feet at the minimum. Warmer waters give birth to Category 6 or 7 hurricanes so strong that it will perpetually travel across the globe. And mass displacement of people due to rising sea levels, hurricanes and expanding unlivable regions due to heatwave and with the added danger of unsanitary conditions can give rise to deadly and contagious infections that can spread around the world. If we can't control our greed, nature will force culling of the human population.

The data collected all points to an upward trend in temperature globally, local weather is a different topic.

[@nuqwestr]

@@nemo4evr Yes, I made that clear in my comment. Here in SoCal our "weather" is greatly effected by the ENSO reported El Nino/El Nina cycle, so is the Pacific Ocean. "Upward Trend", perhaps the superposition of large planets' (mostly Jupiter) will result in the modulation of seasonal temperature fluctuations of ±2.5 °C. Perhaps the effect of C02 will save us from a new Ice Age? The models are currently not good enough to make long term predictions, only scare some into submission.

@@old-pete I have a book, purchased in the 1970s, "The Cooling" by Lowell Ponte, spoke to Lowell by email in 2002. "The cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations... If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000". Lowell Ponte, The Cooling, 1976 Chapter 1: "Our planets climate has been cooling for the past three decades. Most experts agree on this, for it has been carefully measured by scattered monitoring stations throughout the world. Climate in the southern half of our planet has been warming rapidly, according to the few measurements available. But in the half of our world north of the equator, where most human beings live, the annual mean atmospheric temperature has plunged by 0.7 oC, more than enough to offset the southern warming and to lower the average temperature of the whole planet by 0.5 oC." - The Cooling The number of monitoring stations has increased since the 1970s, but there's controversy as to their change in position on the ground and where they are located. The models are just that, models and the variables inherent in the models make long term predictions unreliable. Should we spend trillions on a prediction so unreliable?

[@THEOneAndOnlyDOCTORofHUMANICS]

Asking if our people-primate species (the "Homo communia") will now be giving the attention to this in a manner that it deserves (generations too late) is a NORMAL question for the failed species that is responsible for (killing heaven) The Anthropocene! :( As THE Doctor of Humanics, it also shows me the levels of developmental disabilities among THE NORM - the villains of history!

Records began about 1850 throughout the British Empire. World temperatures only began properly after 1945. The Roman period was warmer than today.

[@O_Lee69]

Local anomalies always go more extreme. What they are talking about is global temperatures rising.

[@EmeraldView]

@@O_Lee69 Exactly. Global averages haven't been this high in thousands of years, maybe before humans even existed as a species, but certainly before the ability for our species to engage in agriculture about 12,000 years ago. We've heated the planet significantly in just the last 200 years (and mostly in the last 100, especially the last 50, with changes coming even more rapidly now).

[@old-pete]

The Roman warm period was neither global nor warmer.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

In these last few years we increased the temperature more than what coming out of an ice age does in centuries. It's not the temperature increase the real huge problem, it's the rate of increase. If we keep going, or even not slow down enough, we will be cooking the planet in an absurdly small amount of time

[@AA-vi1cc]

No global meteorological records of adequate spatial resolution were available starting in the 1850. But of course there are much older global paleoclimate records that extend the record back hundreds of thousands of years with annual temporal resolution and many millions of years with lower resolution

[@tarotlumination4122]

Well, there is the grand solar maximum coming up in the next few years. Add on to this we have the magnetic pole shift coming our way too. From the little I know, this spells disaster for the whole earth population. It will feel like a catastrophe for us, but for Earth itself it'll just be another day in the life.

[@old-pete]

The magnetic pole shift and solar maximums are harmless. They happen perodically.

[@AA-vi1cc]

The magnetosphere has weakened about 9% over the past 200 years. Paleomagnetic studies show the field is about as strong as it’s been in the past 100,000 years, and is twice as intense as its million-year average. There are no associated shifts in the fossil records for plants or animals associated with magnetic pole reversals. The energy that governs Earth’s upper atmosphere is about 100,000 times less than the amount of energy driving the climate system at Earth’s surface. Changes to the magnetosphere that allow more of this energy to penetrate deeper into the atmosphere would have a negligible impact relative to the energy it already receives. Solar storms and their electromagnetic interactions only impact Earth’s ionosphere They have no impact on Earth’s troposphere or lower stratosphere.

[@yongbinsong9676]

Now we are entering a warming stage of the natural phenomenon of the earth, therefore, we better just prepare for the trend gradually, no difficult problem. Neither climate crisis nor climate change.

[@old-pete]

1. If there is warming, there is climate change. 2. The change is not gradual. 3. The natural phenomenon would be cooling, as earth is in a 30,000 years cooling cycle.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

Whatever you think our actions have increased the temperature at an absurdly fast rate compared to natural changes. In the last 50 years we changed the globe more than any cyclic climate age has done in centuries. It's the rate that is allarming, and how nature cannot adapt to it this fast. It's not a matter of this year being not as warm as millenia ago, it's that if we continue, if we don't take action immediately, things are going to get worse absurdly fast

[@AA-vi1cc]

C13 suess effect proves our emissions are causing the warming, not a natural cycle

Remember. The arctic used to be semi tropical. The mini ice age in Europe, cold, millions dead ended in the 1600's then the thermometer was invented so as earth warms again the climate crazies say it's the hottest on record. Can't make this stuff up. Convenient to forget the past.

[@old-pete]

Then you should remember. Continents are not in the position they were in the past. There was no mini iceage, especially worldwide.

[@WaveOfDestiny]

It's the rate of warming that is allarming. If we don't do anything, it's going to be worse and worse and faster and faster until nature and humanity will not be able to adapt to it

OK, the sun is not to blame. The sun as a suspect has been ruled out. Is that what you wanted to hear? All people blaming the warming on the sun are frauds, liars, or fools that have been deceived by frauds or liars.

[@old-pete]

Earth is hit with decreasing amounts of solar radiation.

[@reversetransistor4129]

So you are assuming that before the pole flips, the sun activity decreases?

[@old-pete]

@@reversetransistor4129 No. Earth is hit with decreasing amounts of solar radiation thx to the Milankovitch Cycles. That is going on for around 8000 years. The pole change happens regularly and has no noteworthy influence on climate.
