January 2025 was the hottest in January, despite the factors that make it less likely

Washington – The world was heated to another monthly thermal record in January, despite the abnormally cold United States, When the cold sea is And just below 2025 hot expectations, according to European climate service Copernicus.

The sudden heat record coincides in January with a new study conducted by a climatology Heavy weight, former NASA, James Hansen, and others on the pretext that global warming is accelerating. It is a claim that divides the research community.

January 2025 in the world was 0.09 ° C (0.16 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than January 2024, the most important of January, and was 1.75 ° C (3.15 Fahrenheit) warmer than before industrial times, calculated Copernicus. It was the eighteenth month of the last 19 years in which he struck the world or passed the internationally agreed maximum at 1.5 ° C (2.7 Fahrenheit) over the previous times of the quarter. Scientists will not be considered the limit that is breached unless global temperatures remain over 20 years old.

The history of copernicus date until 1940, but other American and British records date back to 1850, and scientists who use agents like tree rings say that this age is the warmer in about 120,000 years – or since the beginning of human civilization.

To a large extent, the largest standard entertainment driver is greenhouse gas Accumulation of charcoal burning, oil and natural gasSamantha Burgis, a climate strategic leader in the European Weather Agency, said.

The large natural factor in global temperatures is usually the natural cycle of changes in the waters of the Pacific Pacific. When the Pacific Central is particularly warm, it tends global temperatures to rise. Last year, El Nino was great, although it ended last June, and the year was warmer than he was initially expected, The most heated ever.

The EL Nino’s Cooler Flip, La Nina, tends to alleviate the effects of global warming, making standard temperatures less likely. La Nina started in January after being breeded for several months. Only last month, climate scientists expected that 2025 would not be hot like 2024 or 2023, with a major cause.

“Although the Pacific Ocean does not create heating conditions for our global climate, we still see record temperatures,” said Borges.

Usually after temperatures drop last year, temperatures decrease quickly, but “we haven’t seen it.”

For Americans, news of a warm record in January may seem strange due to the coldness of it. But the United States is just a small part of the planet’s surface, and “more space than the surface of the planet was much warmer than average,” said Burgis.

January was unreasonable in the Arctic. Burgis said that parts of the Canadian North Pole had temperatures of 54 degrees Fahrenheit more warmer than the average, and the temperatures in the warm sea ice began to melt in places.

Copernicus said that the Arctic this month linked the January record The lowest sea ice. The US -based national ice and ice data center was the second extra, behind 2018.

Borges said that February has already started colder than last year.

Hansen, the former NASA scientist who was called the godfather of climate science, said he is now at the University of Colombia.

In a study conducted in the magazine environment: Science and Politics for Sustainable Development, Hansen and his colleagues said that the past fifteen years have heated about twice the rate of the previous forty years.

“I am sure that this higher rate will continue for at least several years,” Hansen told Associated Press in an interview. “Over the course of the full year, it will be between 2024 and 2025.”

Hansen said that there was an increase in a noticeable temperature, even when the EL Nino differences were removed and the expected climate changed since 2020. He pointed out that the recent shipping regulations that led to a decrease in sulfur pollution, which reflects some sunlight away from Earth and effectively reduces warming. He said that would continue.

“The continuation of the record warmth until 2023, 2024, and now until the first month of 2025 is less what he said,” said the dean of the Environment at the University of Michigan, who was not part of Hansen’s study. “Global warming and the effects of climate change do not seem to be accelerated.”

But Gabi Vicky from Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania Michael Man said they did not agree with Hansen on acceleration. Vecchi said that there is not enough data to show that this is not a random opportunity. Man said that the temperature increases are still among the climate models.
