April Sets Record For The Hottest In History
According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, last month was the hottest April in history, and this has been the case for the 11th month in a row. The organization reports, “April 2024 was warmer globally than any previous April in the data record, with an average ERA5 surface air temperature of 15.03°C, 0.67°C above the 1991-2020 average for April and 0.14°C above the previous high set in April 2016.”

April was also 1.58°C warmer than an estimate for April when the average was across 1850-1900. This time frame is considered the industrial reference period. The date range is that against which global warming is measured.
Arctic ice also melted at a rapid pace.
Climatecrisis247 believes this is another sign that the effort to combat global warming, both by nations and industries, continues to fail. It also means that there is a chance that the world will not reach its goal of containing climate change at a level that will lower the chance of ongoing climate catastrophes. Efforts by industries and countries will fail.
