All nature,
all growth,
all peace,

all prosperity

and beauty in the world

is based on patience,

needs time,

needs silence,

needs trust,

needs faith in long-term processes of

much longer duration,

than a single life lasts ...

Hottest May on record spurs call for climate action | Copernicus

5th June 2024

A STARK WARNING

 

HUMAN-INDUCED WARMING AT ALL-TIME HIGH

May 2024 was the warmest May on record, marking the 12th consecutive month in which the global average temperature reached a record value for the corresponding month, according to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (*C3S). The C3S data were cited by the UN Secretary General in a call for urgent action, as two new reports detailing aspects of climate change are published.

The C3S data are in line with the latest Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which issues a stark warning that we are getting ever closer to the thresholds set in the Paris Agreement on climate change. According to the report, the global mean near-surface temperature for each year between 2024 and 2028 is predicted to be between 1.1°C and 1.9°C higher than the 1850-1900 baseline.
