Jan 10, Kathmandu- The recently concluded English year 2024 has become the hottest year on record. The European Climate Agency Copernicus said that 2024 was the warmest year on record and for the first time the global average temperature was 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

According to the Copernicus Agency, every month from January to June 2024 was the hottest month on record. All months from July to December except August were recorded as the second hottest months after 2023.

According to scientists, the average global temperature in 2024 will be 15.1 degrees Celsius. This is 0.72 degrees Celsius higher than the 1991-2020 average and 0.12 degrees Celsius higher than 2023. 2024 was the warmest year since global temperature records began in 1850. This year's average temperature is 1.60 degrees Celsius higher than the 1850-1900 baseline.

In 2016, the goal was to limit the increase in the temperature of the earth to 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, the report states that global temperatures have crossed the limit due to human activities including greenhouse gas emissions and the use of fossil fuels.

Miles Allen, from Oxford University's Department of Physics and author of the UN report, said that we are very close to crossing the global temperature limit.
