For the first time, a day has been recorded where the average temperature on the earth was more than 2 degrees higher than in pre-industrial times.
The “milestone” was passed on 17 November, according to preliminary figures from the EU’s climate monitoring service C3S.
They show that the average temperature on the earth on this day was 2.06 degrees higher than in pre-industrial times.
The figures do not mean that the world has failed to reach the so-called 2-degree target. Then the global average temperature must remain above 2 degrees for a long period.
Measured over time, global warming is currently around 1.2 degrees, compared to the level before the industrial revolution.
In recent months, several new global heat records have been set by very large margins. The weather phenomenon El Niño is believed to contribute to the temperature jumps, in addition to man-made global warming.
