2024: Hottest Year on Record, Surpassing 1.5°C Warming Limit

November 2024 was the second warmest November on record, exceeding pre-industrial levels by 1.62°C, leading the Copernicus Climate Change Service to declare 2024 the hottest year on record, surpassing the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement.

What factors contributed to the record-breaking temperatures in 2024 beyond the El Niño effect?

This record surpasses the most ambitious target of the 2015 Paris Agreement, aiming to limit warming well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. However, the agreement refers to long-term trends; the 1.5°C average must be observed for at least 20 years to consider the limit breached. Current policies lead to a catastrophic 3.1°C warming by the end of the century, according to the UN.

2024 Global Temperature Exceeds 1.5-Degree Limit, Accelerated Warming Linked to Albedo Reduction

Despite La Niña's cooling effect, 2024's global temperature reached approximately 1.6 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree limit due to factors including a reduction in planetary albedo from decreased low-hanging clouds, potentially linked to air po...

How does the decrease in planetary albedo, particularly the reduction in low-hanging clouds, contribute to the accelerated warming trend observed since 2015?

The accelerated warming trend since 2015, exceeding rates observed in previous decades, cannot be fully explained by greenhouse gas emissions alone. Additional factors, such as the decrease in planetary albedo due to reduced reflectivity from disappearing low-hanging clouds, contribute significantly to this accelerated warming.

What factors beyond human-caused greenhouse gases contributed to the exceptionally high temperatures in 2024?

The record warmth is primarily attributed to human-caused greenhouse gases, but other factors contributed, including increased solar activity, El Niño, volcanic activity, reduced ocean aerosols, and fewer low-level clouds. Reduced low-level cloud cover, a phenomenon with unclear causes possibly linked to global warming itself, significantly accelerated the temperature rise from 2022 to 2024.
