Alag saal, ekta hotter planet

2024 record-te sabse dangor gorom saal hobo laga nishchoi hobo. EU laga Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) laga data hisab te, November para pichla 17 months laga 16 months te average global temperature 1.5 degree Celsius pre-Industrial Revolution period pora upor te ase. Paris Pact laga 196 signatories ke global heating 1.5 degree niche rakhibo nimite commit kurise, climate disasters laga impact kumti koribo karone. Pichla saal te duniya itu threshold tohde nikhati agota te thakise. Kintu 2024 laga agota 11 months te temperature 1.6 degree upor exceed korise, aru C3S hoila khobor dise ki itu saal Paris benchmark nisho default hobo. Itu climate treaty toh violate nohoilebi, temperature trends reverse kuribo nimite bohut sustained action laga dorkar ase.

Meteorologists surute hobi korise ki 2023 laga record gorom temperature pora 2024 te temperature kumti hobo, La Nina laga cooling effect karone. La Nina July para October te shuru hobo olop expect thakise, kintu Oceanic Niño Index -0.5 degree tak niche nohoi confirm nohoi. Itu threshold fulfill nohoile karone scientists bhi puzzled ase, aru US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration admit korise ki “spooked” ase. Pichla 75 years te duita bar he October pora late La Nina set in hobo laga record ase. Experts hobi korise ki La Nina itu bar weak hobo, noile mid-winter pora February 2025 tak delay hobo bhi pare. Itu phenomenon crop cycles, energy usage, local pollution, aru extreme weather events te effect kuribo laga possibility ase, aru policymakers aru scientists ke refine forecasting models te milibo lage.

C3S laga November announcement piche, Swiss Re Institute ekta report release kurise juntu te extreme weather events laga economic costs highlight kurise. Itu saal te climate vagaries karone duniya ke $320 billion damage hobo, jun past decade laga average pora 25% beshi ase. Meteorological extremes toh necessarily disaster risks na nohoi, kintu GHG emissions mitigate kuribo aru weather vagaries adapt kuribo nimite policy implement koribo lage. Paris CoPs pora milaibole national governments aru global policymakers ke nijor laga role aru responsibility clear ase.
