Hottest year on record sent planet past 1.5C of heating for first time in 2024​

Highest recorded temperatures supercharged extreme weather – with worse to come, EU data shows

Climate breakdown drove the annual global temperature above the internationally agreed 1.5C target for the first time last year, supercharging extreme weather and causing “misery to millions of people”.

The average temperature in 2024 was 1.6C above preindustrial levels, data from the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) shows. That is a jump of 0.1C from 2023, which was also a record hot year and represents levels of heat never experienced by modern humans.

The heating is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels, and the damage to lives and livelihoods will continue to escalate around the world until coal, oil and gas are replaced. The Paris agreement target of 1.5C is measured over a decade or two, so a single year above that level does not mean the target has been missed, but does show the climate emergency continues to intensify. Every year in the past decade has been one of the 10 hottest, in records that go back to 1850.

The C3S data also shows that a record 44% of the planet was affected by strong to extreme heat stress on 10 July 2024, and that the hottest day in recorded history struck on 22 July.

It's snowing in DFW this week. Perfect time to say to people, "So much for that global warming, huh?"

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

So which parts of the world do we need to send into a nuclear winter in order to fix this?..............

Because having people simply stop polluting with fossil fuels and such and such A. Isn't working, and B. Isn't gonna work fast enough.


So let's just bomb the sh** out of these areas of the world that are overpopulating overheating our planet and be done with it.........yeah?

The easy answer is to just nuke most major oil fields around the world. No need to go overboard with global nuclear armageddon. Just make the oil fields dangerously radioactive for a long time.

The remaining fossil energy would become sufficiently expensive that humanity would happily shift to greener options.

Being forced to do the right thing in a hurry wouldn't be comfortable, but it's starting to look better than the alternatives.

A true nuclear winter would kill too many innocent species. No need for that. Ditto for the climate catastrophe we face if we do nothing.

Not this again.

I'm doing plenty. But we are WAY past the point where individual efforts can resolve this disaster.

Addressing the climate crisis requires massive collective action. That wasn't even on the ballot in 2024 - as it damn well should have been - and yet America still voted against it.

Without fossil fuels, how will they build an EV Tesla? Its plastic exterior components (bumpers, trim, etc.) and the interiors (dashboards, consoles, etc.) are pretty much made from petrochemical-based plastics. Heck, most automotive plastics are still derived from crude oil or natural gas.

I agree 100%. I also know that over half the planet doesn’t GAF so threads like this are pointless.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing. I’m sure you’ve addressed this before, but I’m too lazy to look into it.

First, we'll still have some fossil energy sources. For example we can nuke oil fields in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Venezuela but we won't risk WWIII by hitting Russia's oil fields. Moreover, we can't nuke the methane deposits in the Arctic or the South China Sea.

Nuking the soft oil targets will just make fossil-based products more expensive - which will require smarter allocation. Maybe bumpers will be something that gets the plastic. Or maybe they'll be replaced with hemp bumpers or something.

Second, maybe we'll get serious about recycling.

Third, we'll figure that part out - whether through the free market or government action.

Not too worried about it, other than the initial dislocation. But as I've said, that initial dislocation is the price we may have to pay to avoid worse.

I agree with your Sad emoji, @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset. Worse than sad that we have been too stupid and too craven to handle this back when it would have been easy.

That's why I suggested a "targeted" nuclear winter...............

Global warming is a hoax being perpetrated by fraudsters.

The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, its data are fraudulent.

I'm guessing you didn't read that. They are obvious hacks. And if you check on their embedded links, you get more hackery, when the links even work.

Could there be some merit to some of their claims? Beats me. But if there was, don't you think they could make that clear.

And even if there is some merit, that in no way means global warming is a hoax. The time when informed, reasonable people might wonder about that passed at least 4 decades ago.

I could have saved myself some effort if I had checked on your source first. I didn't because sometimes you are on the right side of an issue.
