PARIS – Global temperatures were stuck at near-record highs in April, the EU’s climate monitor said on Thursday, extending an unprecedented heat streak
and raising questions about how quickly the world might be warming.
In its latest bulletin, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said that April was the second-hottest in its dataset, which draws on billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations. A large study by dozens of pre-eminent climate scientists, which has not yet been peer reviewed, recently concluded that global warming reached 1.36C in 2024.
“The critical thing is to then not latch onto two degrees, but to focus on 1.51,” the climate scientist told AFP. The surge pushed 2023 and then 2024 to become the hottest years on record, with 2025 tipped to be third.“They’re still within the boundary — or the envelope — of what climate models predicted we could be in right now. But we’re at the upper end of that envelope.”
