2021 was the fifth hottest year on record due to global warming | Weather Problems

The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service says the past seven years have been the hottest ‘offshore’ ever since records began.

2021 was the fifth year of global warming, when carbon dioxide and methane levels in the atmosphere rose sharply, European Union scientists have said.

The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a report on Monday that the past seven years were the world’s warmest “by a clear limit” in 1850 volumes and that the global temperature in 2021 was 1.1-1.2C ( 1.98) -2.16F) above 1850-1900 levels.

The hottest years ever recorded were 2020 and 2016.

Countries that acted under the Paris Agreement of 2015 to try to reduce global warming to 1.5C (2.7F), a standard that scientists say could avoid its risks. This would mean that the air supply would be halved by 2030, but so far it has paid off.

The last seven years were the hottest in history, with 2021 5th but with a limited margin until 2015 and 2018. See in the video which regions had the most differences in the location of the year. #CopernicusClimate # C3S pic.twitter.com/1sbG5cLdVg

As greenhouse gases change the climate of the world, long-term warming continues. Global warming exacerbated the worst global climate in 2021, from floods in Europe, China and South Sudan, to wildfires in Siberia and the United States.

“The year 2021 was another year of extreme heat and the hottest summer in Europe, the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea, not to mention the unprecedented heat in North America,” said CS3 Director Carlo Buontempo.

“These experiences are a clear reminder of the need to change our ways, to act quickly and efficiently for sustainable development and to reduce carbon emissions,” Buontempo warned.

Global standards for CO2 and methane, greenhouse gases, have continued to rise, and both have risen sharply in 2021.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions have skyrocketed in 2021. Preliminary analysis of satellite data, shows that the growth of methane was very high. For more information, see the video or link https://t.co/k7OHCjlHP7 # C3S pic.twitter.com/qpcGmPIpo

The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere reached 414.3 million levels by 2021, rising almost 2.4ppm since 2020, scientists said.

The C3S said levels of methane, a greenhouse gas, have skyrocketed in the past two years, but the reasons for this are unclear.

Methane emissions range from the production of oil and gas and agriculture to natural resources such as wetlands.

After a temporary decline in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, temporary reports indicate that global CO2 emissions increased by 4.9 percent in 2021.

New rides in Europe

Last summer was the hottest day in Europe, said CS3, following March’s hot and cold April months that devastated fruit crops in countries including France and Hungary.

In July and August, Mediterranean temperatures triggered fires in countries including Turkey and Greece. Sicily set a new European temperature of 48.8C (119.84F), a record awaiting official confirmation.

In July, more than 200 people died when torrential rains triggered floods in western Europe. Scientists say that climate change has contributed to a 20 percent increase in global warming.

In the Glasgow Climate Pact, members of the United Nations announced in November that they wanted to reduce global warming by 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial era. However, meteorologists say that the agreement does not go far enough, especially in helping to protect countries at risk from the effects of global warming.
