2023 was the planet’s hottest year in global records going back to 1850. (File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Brussels: <\/b><\/p>\n

The world just experienced its warmest March on record, capping a 10-month streak in which every month set a new temperature record, the European Union’s climate change monitoring service said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Each of the last 10 months ranked as the world’s hottest on record, compared with the corresponding month in previous years, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a monthly bulletin.<\/p>\n

The 12 months ending with March also ranked as the planet’s hottest ever recorded 12-month period, C3S said. From April 2023 to March 2024, the global average temperature was 1.58 degrees Celsius above the average in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period.<\/p>\n

“It’s the long-term trend with exceptional records that has us very concerned,” C3S Deputy Director Samantha Burgess told Reuters.<\/p>\n

“Seeing records like this – month in, month out – really shows us that our climate is changing, is changing rapidly,” she added.<\/p>\n

C3S’ dataset goes back to 1940, which the scientists cross-checked with other data to confirm that last month was the hottest March since the pre-industrial period.<\/p>\n

Already, 2023 was the planet’s hottest year in global records going back to 1850.<\/p>\n

This year has witnessed extreme weather and exceptional temperatures.<\/p>\n

Climate change-driven drought in the Amazon rainforest region unleashed a record number of wildfires in Venezuela from January-March, while drought in Southern Africa has wiped out crops and left millions of people facing hunger.<\/p>\n

Marine scientists also warned last month a mass coral bleaching event is likely unfolding in the Southern Hemisphere, driven by warming waters, and could be the worst in the planet’s history.<\/p>\n

The primary cause of the exceptional heat were human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, C3S said. Other factors pushing up temperatures include El Nino, the weather pattern that warms the surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

El Nino peaked in December-January and is now weakening, which may help to break the hot streak toward the end of the year.<\/p>\n

But despite El Nino easing in March, the world’s average sea surface temperature hit a record high, for any month on record, and marine air temperatures remained unusually high, C3S said.<\/p>\n

“The main driver of the warming is fossil fuel emissions,” said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London’s Grantham Institute.<\/p>\n

Failure to reduce these emissions will continue to drive the warming of the planet, resulting in more intense droughts, fires, heat waves and heavy rainfall, Otto said.<\/p>\n
