Antarctic ice confirms that global warming of human origin is already close to 1.5ºC

A new, more reliable approach to assessing man’s impact on climate suggests that the global average temperature has risen even more than the UN-led data indicate.
If last week the Copernicus satellite system indicated that 2024 will possibly be the hottest year ever recorded, it begins with research that reveals that we are just a few tenths of a point away from exceeding the limit set in 2015 by the Paris Agreement and that reconfirms that the origin of this climate change is human activity. British scientists publish today in Nature Geoscience that from the beginning of the seventeenth century until 2023, the average global temperature would have increased to 1.49ºC.

The work, led by Britain’s Andrew Jarvis of Lancaster University in Great Britain, is based on a new method that is more reliable than previous methods for assessing the impact of human-caused warming. Data provided by ice cores drilled in Antarctica and containing a record covering the Earth’s climate over the last two millennia are used.
