What are the key factors contributing to the record-breaking temperatures in 2024, and how do these factors interact?

While the two-year average temperature has exceeded the 1.5-degree threshold, the Paris Agreement considers long-term averages. However, the current trajectory indicates a concerning trend towards exceeding the limit, as evidenced by increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like wildfires in Brazil and flooding in Sudan, the UAE, and Spain.

What is the impact of Zimbabwe's government's response to the El Niño drought on food security?

Zimbabwe's current drought, the worst since independence, is unusual due to the lack of food queues and price increases. The government attributes this to its proactive measures, including food reserves sufficient to feed 6.54 million people until March 2025 and 4.5 million schoolchildren until April 2025.

2024: Warmest Year on Record, 2025 Outlook

2024 marked the warmest year on record, surpassing the 1.5°C Paris Agreement threshold due in part to El Niño; while La Niña is expected in 2025, slightly cooling global temperatures, 2025 will still likely rank among the three warmest years recorded.

What were the key climate events of 2024 and their global implications?

2024 was the warmest year on record, exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C threshold above pre-industrial levels. This surge, partly driven by El Niño, is unlikely to be surpassed in 2025 due to the anticipated La Niña event, which typically cools global temperatures. However, 2025 is still projected to be among the three warmest years ever recorded.

What specific factors contributed to 2023's record-breaking global temperatures, exceeding even the impact of El Niño and surpassing previous records?

The year 2023 was exceptionally hot, with a global average temperature 1.48 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average, exceeding the previous record by 0.2 degrees. This is significant as it approaches the politically crucial 1.5-degree limit. Scientists are investigating why, despite the El Niño phenomenon's waning influence, temperatures remained exceptionally high.

La Niña Delayed: Pacific Ocean Remains Too Warm

Despite predictions, La Niña has yet to appear due to insufficient cooling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean; this follows the El Niño event which ended in June 2024, and the current neutral phase may offer more stable weather, although climate change complicates predictions.

How does the current neutral phase impact weather patterns in Brazil and globally?

The absence of El Niño or La Niña creates more stable weather patterns compared to the extreme events associated with these phenomena. However, the current climate instability challenges this expectation, indicating a disruption in seasonal normalcy and a loss of predictability.
