In a recent report, it was revealed that global temperatures in the year 2020 were the second warmest since records began, with an average temperature of 14.9 degrees Celsius. This marks a 0.6-degree increase from the pre-industrial period. Additionally, the year 2020 saw a record 417 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, despite a decrease in emissions due to COVID-19 lockdowns. The impacts of this warming trend were evident in various extreme weather events worldwide, including wildfires, hurricanes, and heatwaves. Scientists warn that urgent action is needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions and limit further temperature rise to avoid catastrophic consequences.
