The month of March proved to be the hottest month in the world so far, the average temperature of the earth also increased
New Delhi: New temperature records have been set for ten consecutive months since June last year, due to El Nino conditions and human-induced climate change, the European Union’s meteorological organization said on Tuesday. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that the average temperature in March was 14.14 degrees Celsius, 1.68 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average from 1850 to 1900.
This temperature in March was 0.73 degrees higher than the world’s average temperature during 1991-2020. This temperature was 0.10 degrees Celsius higher than the previous maximum temperature recorded in March. C3S said that for the first time in January, the record of increase of one and a half degrees in the average temperature of the entire year was broken. A limit of one and a half degree temperature was set in the Paris Agreement. Which refers to long-term hot temperatures.
According to meteorologists, to avoid the bad effects of climate change, the countries of the world should see that their average temperature does not increase by more than one and a half degrees compared to before the Industrial Revolution. The Earth’s surface temperature has increased by 1.15 degrees compared to the average temperature of 1850-1900. Which was seen 1.25 lakh years ago. Due to this hot climate, the incidence of drought, frost and floods has increased.
The Earth’s average temperature is believed to have increased due to the rapid increase in the amount of greenhouse gases called carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. The year 2023 was the world’s hottest year on record, according to 174 years of observational records. In which an increase of 1.45 degrees was observed in the average temperature on the surface.
