Climate change alarm: 2024 breaks temperature records in Berlin and Brandenburg!
The year 2024 is seen as a drastic chapter in the history of climate change, since it was the first year that was an average of over 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre -industrial level. According to a report by the Copernicus climate change service, the alarming data of satellites, ships and weather stations are raised and illustrated that 2024 is even 1.6 degrees warmer than the average between 1850 and 1900. These developments are accompanied by numerous extreme weather events that are recorded worldwide, including temperatures above 50 degrees and massive precipitation resulted. In Germany in 2024 the warmest year since the beginning of the weather records, such as [RBB24] (https://www.rbbb24.de/panorama/2025/01/klimaerwaerMunM-erfmals-ueber-1-klima-Klimaziele-Klimaziele -berin-brandenburg-copernicus-climate-service.html) reported.
The critical values were also caused by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, in particular carbon dioxide and methane, which achieved new record heights in 2024. In addition, the climate phenomenon El Niño, which was highlighted in December 2023, contributed to the increase in global temperatures. Despite these dark forecasts, which range from heavy storms to long -lasting forest fires in the United States, there are also bright spots. The rapid development of renewable energies is viewed as a hope. Ten years ago, it was forecast that the earth temperature could increase by 3.5 degrees by the end of the century; There are currently signs that this number could drop to 2.7 degrees if the announced climate goals are complied with, reports [https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima/erderwaermung-copernicus-102.html).
climate conference as an urgent call to action
In view of this alarming data, the upcoming COP29 World Climate Conference is a crucial moment to rethink and intensify the global climate goals. Samantha Burgess from the EU climate service describes the current situation as a "new milestone in the global temperature recording", which should serve as an incentive to set more ambitious goals. Nevertheless, there is skepticism among climate scientists such as Mojib Latif, which questions the effectiveness of climate conferences. He warns that the meetings in the past have rarely led to changes in the past, and sees no significant progress in Baku. rbb24
