Sea surface temperatures for the Mediterranean Sea were the highest ever recorded, at 1.2 degrees Celsius above average. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) released a report showing that Europe experienced its hottest year on record in 2024, marked by deadly floods, prolonged heatwaves, and unprecedented climate extremes.

Since the satellite record of ocean height began in 1993, the rate of annual sea level rise has more than doubled. On Thursday, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) confirmed that global sea levels rose faster than anticipated in 2024, primarily due to the expansion of ocean water as it warms.

The Arctic sea ice extent was 8% below average, marking the 3rd consecutive month of record-low extent for its respective month. On Thursday, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that daily global sea ice cover dropped to an unprecedented low in early February, reflecting the ongoing warming of the planet.

The average temperature over European land rose 2.51 degrees above the 1991-2000 January average. On Thursday, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported that January 2025 was the warmest on record globally, with the average surface temperature 0.79 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2000 January average.

Ocean temperatures were rising at a rate of 0.06 °C per decade, whereas now they are increasing by 0.27 °C every ten years. On Tuesday, the journal Environmental Research Letters published a study by the University of Reading showing that ocean surface warming has quadrupled over the past four decades.

The withdrawal takes one year from the formal notification by Washington to the United Nations for the decision to take effect. The Paris Agreement, from which President Donald Trump has signed the United States’ withdrawal, is an international treaty on climate change, legally binding, adopted in December 2015 by nearly 200 countries to limit global […]

“There will be more hurricanes, fires, droughts, and not only more but also of greater intensity,” he said.

The agreements did not address the magnitude of the challenges involved in fighting global warming. On Sunday, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) culminated in Azerbaijan by announcing a package of climate agreements.

Even if emissions were quickly reduced to net zero, it would take decades to lower current temperature levels. On Monday, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported that greenhouse gas concentrations broke all previous records again in 2023. The primary of these gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), increased by 11.4 percent over the past two decades. RELATED: […]
