☆ Scientists Explain Why the Record-Shattering 2023 Heat Has Them on Edge. Warming May Be Worsening
  + stars: | 2024-01-12 | by ( Associated Press | Jan. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +7 min
The latest calculations from several science agencies showing Earth obliterated global heat records last year may seem scary. Former NASA climate scientist James Hansen, often considered the godfather of global warming science, theorized last year that warming was accelerating. That’s 0.27 degrees (0.15 degrees Celsius) warmer than the previous record set in 2016 and 2.43 degrees (1.35 degrees Celsius) warmer than pre-industrial temperatures. NASA and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office had the warming since the mid-19th century a bit higher at 2.5 degrees (1.39 degrees Celsius) and 2.63 degrees (1.46 degrees Celsius) respectively. It’s the third time in the last eight years that a global heat record was set.

☆ The world hasn't been this warm in 100,000 years

Data from ancient ice cores and tree rings suggest the world hasn't been this warm in 100,000 years. But climate scientists who track these trends were still shocked by how high temperatures soared. Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service made the official call this week. Carlo Buontempo, the service's director, said evidence suggests the world hasn't been this warm in 100,000 years, meaning no cities, farms, or other parts of modern society have ever endured this heat. AdvertisementBut the Copernicus climate scientists said that these weren't the only factors and that some required more research.

☆ Europe's space agency welcomes UK deal with EU on satellites

REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsPARIS, Sept 8 (Reuters) - The European Space Agency on Friday welcomed a deal for Britain to resume full membership of Europe's Copernicus programme, easing doubts over the next batch of climate-tracking satellites and the completion of development work by European space firms. Copernicus is a set of six families of Sentinel satellites designed to read the planet's "vital signs" including carbon dioxide. But following Thursday's agreement, Director General Josef Aschbacher said the deal would allow UK scientists and industry to benefit fully from one of Europe's leading space programmes. The agreement is a boost for satellite manufacturers including Europe's Airbus (AIR.PA), France' Thales (TCFP.PA) and Germany's OHB (OHBG.DE) that had been awarded contracts to build the new set of satellites subject in part to an EU funding deal.

☆ Unprecedented Canada wildfires obliterate previous annual pollution record in just seven months

An aerial view of wildfire of Tatkin Lake in British Columbia, Canada on July 10, 2023. The intensity of Canada's raging wildfires have generated record levels of carbon emissions, the EU's climate monitor said Thursday. Europe's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that accumulated carbon emissions from Canadian wildfires had soared to 290 megatons in just the first seven months of 2023. That is already more than double Canada's previous whole-year record and accounts for over 25% of the global total year-to-date. We support users in mitigating the impacts through monitoring the fire activity and intensity, and the emitted smoke," Parrington said.
