Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
- The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.
- The 1.5-degree limit of the Paris Climate Agreement is at risk as the average temperature from March 2023 to February 2024 exceeded this threshold.
- In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once, glaciers lost record amounts of ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level.
- Despite the alarming news, there is a glimmer of hope as renewable energy capacity has significantly increased, and calls for more climate action are growing.
Polar turning point probably in the next decade: The Arctic could be ice-free in the next ten years, at least for a day. It would be the first time in at least ...

More climate records fall in world's warmest February: It's the ninth month of global temperature records in a row, driven by climate change and El Niño.
bbc.com/news/science-environment-68428348
Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
- Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.
- The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.
- The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.
- The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.

Quick Glance: Climate Change Lures Pacific Whale to New England
- Scientists confirm the appearance of a whale off New England that went extinct in the Atlantic Ocean two centuries ago, highlighting the impact of climate change on sea life.
- The gray whale, usually found in the northern Pacific, was spotted by researchers from the New England Aquarium in Boston 30 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. This whale, weighing up to 60,000 pounds (27,215 kilograms), disappeared from the Atlantic in the 18th century.
- Nearly hunted to extinction during the era of commercial whaling, gray whales have now recovered to be considered a species of 'least concern' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
- The presence of the gray whale off New England is likely linked to the warming of the planet. The Northwest Passage, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic in Canada, has been ice-free in recent summers, allowing gray whales to pass through when they would have been blocked.
