2024 to be the hottest year on record: EU's climate monitor

Brussels: The European Union's climate change monitoring service informed on Monday that June 2024 was the hottest June on record, and the exceptional temperatures this year will make it the hottest year on record, too, Reuters reported.

Further, more scary information that the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) revealed on the day was that every month since June 2023, it has been the hottest on the planet since records began. The corresponding months in the previous years were cooler, the agency says.

The 2024 has been pushed to the hottest because of the human-caused climate change and the El Nino natural weather phenomenon so far.

Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, said that there is an approximately 95% chance that 2024 beats 2023 to be the warmest year since global surface temperature records began in the mid-1800s.

Reuters reported that the ongoing climate change has already unleashed disastrous consequences across the world this year. During the Haj pilgrimage, more than 1,000 people died in unbearable temperatures. India's New Delhi, which experienced a long-standing heat wave, witnessed deaths of unprecedented counts.

Another climate scientist, Friederike Otto of Imperial College London's Grantham Institute, also predicted 2024 as the highest-ranking hottest year on record. She said that El Nino is a naturally occurring phenomenon that will always come and go and though we can't stop it we could stop burning oil, gas and coal.

El Nio is a phenomenon that warms the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean, but it has the tendency to raise the global average temperatures. The El Nino effect has subsided in the recent months and cooler La Nina conditions are expected later own this year.
