BBC 2024 on track to be world's warmest year on record　5 hours ago

Mark Poynting

「It is now "virtually certain" that 2024 - a year punctuated by intense heatwaves and deadly storms - will be the world's warmest on record, according to projections by the European climate service.

Global average temperatures across the year are on track to end up more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, which would make 2024 the first calendar year to breach this symbolic mark.」

　人間の活動による気候変動が主因だろうというのは別に書かなくともよいレベルか。

「These high temperatures are mainly down to human-caused climate change, with smaller contributions from natural factors such as the El Niño weather pattern.

Scientists say this should act as an alarm call ahead of next week's UN climate conference in Azerbaijan, COP29.」

　COP29にむけてのアピールには、まあ、なろう。

「The projection means that 2024 could surpass the current record of 1.48C, which was set only last year.

"This marks a new milestone in global temperature records," says Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus.」
