datasaurus2024 first year to pass 1.5ºC global warming limit
The #BBC has produced this news item based on Copernicus data that highlights the following findings about #climatechange:
1. Global average temperatures for 2024 were around 1.6C above those of the pre-industrial period (1850-1900). This is used as a baseline, as it was the time before humans started burning large amounts of fossil fuels.
2. Whereas temperature increase from baseline was mainly located in specific areas by early 2000s, this is now observed everywhere almost equally, including oceans.
3. 2024 was the year with more number of days of temperature exceeding the average, and where the excess was more acute.
