Paris, France:
Last month was the hottest November on record as Europe basked in its highest Autumn temperatures in history, the European Union’s satellite monitoring service stated Monday.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) evaluation of surface and air temperatures identified that November 2020 was .8C warmer than the 30-year typical of 1981-2010 — extra than .1C hotter than the preceding record.
For boreal autumn (September-November) temperatures in Europe had been 1.9C above the regular reference period, .4C greater than the typical temperature in 2006, which was the preceding warmest.
“These records are consistent with the long-term warming trend of the global climate,” stated C3S director Carlo Buontempo.
“All policy-makers who prioritise mitigating climate risks should see these records as alarm bells and consider more seriously than ever how to best comply with the international commitments set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement”.
The landmark deal, which turns 5 this month, enjoins nations to limit temperature rises to “well-below” 2C (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Last week the World Meteorological Organization stated 2020 was on course to be amongst the 3 hottest years ever recorded.
C3S stated that with just a single month left to go, 2020 is on par to match 2016, the present record holder.
With just more than 1C of warming so far, Earth is currently dealing with the devastation triggered by extra frequent and stronger intense climate events such as wildfires and tropical storms.
Satellite pictures analysed by C3S also showed that Arctic sea ice extent was the second lowest for November in the database, which started in 1979.
The biggest damaging sea ice concentration anomalies had been in the Kara Sea, whilst there was beneath typical cover in the eastern Canadian archipelago and Baffin Bay.
“This trend is concerning and highlights the importance of comprehensive monitoring of the Arctic, as it is warming faster than the rest of the world,” stated Buontempo.
Temperatures had been substantially greater than standard across the Arctic and a lot of Siberia final month, and greater than typical across the United States, South America, southern Africa, eastern Antarctica and most of Australia, C3S stated.
The 5 hottest years in history have all come considering the fact that 2015.
