Record Global Heat Surges in 2023-2024

News summary

The world is experiencing an unprecedented surge in heat that has shattered temperature records and raised concerns among scientists about potential shifts in climate behavior. Over the past two years, both 2023 and 2024 are projected to be the hottest years recorded, driven primarily by increased fossil fuel emissions. Researchers are investigating various factors such as changes in cloud patterns, airborne pollution, and the Earth's carbon storage capability to understand this extraordinary heat surge. Gavin Schmidt from NASA notes that the warming seen in 2023 is significantly higher than in previous years, with further assessments still needed to clarify the underlying causes. The World Meteorological Organization has indicated that the current climate conditions fall well outside the expected norms defined by existing climate models. This extreme heat has pushed the planet into 'uncharted territory,' as stated by climate scientist Richard Allan from the University of Reading.
