Red alarm level: New temperature records endanger our planet!

Red alarm level: New temperature records endanger our planet!
Nordeuropa, Europa - The current climate crisis situation is underlined by alarming forecasts that predict a drastic increase in global temperatures. Today, on May 28, 2025, 2024 is classified as the year with the highest average temperature ever measured. The world organization for meteorology (WMO) has announced that the likelihood that these records will be exceeded again in 2025 to 2029 is 80 percent, with global warming will be over 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2029. These forecasts are based on climate models of 15 institutions, including the German Weather Service, and were created under the direction of the British Met Office. The goal of the Paris UN climate summit 2015 was to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees compared to pre-industrial times. However, the WMO refers to the fact that this critical border was exceeded in 2024 and gives the accelerated temperature rise a worrying sign for the global climate crisis.
In view of these developments, experts warn that every tenth degree of warming has significant effects. It is counted with heat waves, extreme rainfall, drought time, an increasing melting of ice, warmer oceans and increasing sea level. The WMO vice -chief, Ko Barrett, comments concerned about the still unbroken trend line of global warming and emphasizes the negative effects on economies, everyday life, ecosystems and the entire planet.expected climate changes up to 2100
A detailed analysis of the Federal Environment Agency shows that the anthropogenic greenhouse effect is decisive for the changes in the climate system. The global temperature forecasts up to 2100 vary between 1.4 and 4.4 degrees Celsius, depending on the future political measures. If the course unchanged, a medium global warming of 3.2 ° C is very likely until the end of the century. The changes will be greater than all natural temperature fluctuations in recent history, with an increase of 0.25 ° C per decade forecast, unless the emissions are significantly reduced.
The increase in sea level is a serious threat, which has been mainly caused by anthropogenic influences since 1970. Forecasts indicate an increase between 28 and 102 cm to 2100, depending on different emission scenarios. The possibility of a melted Greenland ice sheet, the full melting of the melting of up to 7 meters, is particularly worrying.
global effects and need for action
Global climate risks increase and the massive consequences of the climate crisis are already visible in many places in the world. In addition to the increase in temperature, weather extremes such as heat waves, heavy -duty bins and droughts have become more frequent and more intensive. Climate change also influences changes in the global water cycle and the decrease in snow and ice. For a long time, climate change has been presented as a problem of future generations, but today the effects are already here and need urgent measures.
In order to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, a reduction in climate -damaging greenhouse gases is required by at least 43 percent by 2030. Large quantities also have to be removed from the atmosphere. Time is urgent, because without rapid and comprehensive climate protection measures, the heating trend will continue, especially in large land masses and high northern latitudes. Europe in particular has heated up faster than the global average and sees itself massive challenges.
The current political measures are inadequate to meet the specified target of 1.5 ° C. A rethink in the areas of energy generation, mobility, building and nutrition is necessary to prevent the devastating consequences of climate change. Innovative solutions such as the use of sun and wind energy as well as the protection of ecosystems must be promoted to meet the challenges of the climate crisis.
