According to data published by Copernicus Climate Change Service, January 2025 was the warmest in the past of measurements in the world, with an average air temperature of 13.23 degrees C. This means that the average temperature in January was 1.75 degrees C higher than the pre-industrial level. Prof. Bogdan Chojnicki, a climatologist from the University of Nature in Poznań, estimated that the climate strategy began to change significantly.
The temperature is beginning to change rapidly, and this pace will be reflected in increasingly falling records. The climatologist pointed out that 2024 was a year of temperature records in different months and ended in evidence advanced yearly temperature. The full strategy is moving very dynamically towards the "warm" Earth, that is, the 1 in which it will be very hot, and which, in fact, we do not know very much.
Climate change is the consequence of the destabilisation of the climate system, which may at any point start to advancement on its own. May we no longer be on this trajectory, erstwhile the full strategy changes itself towards a fresh thermodynamic balance," added the professor. He pointed out that the temperature evidence is another confirmation that the amount of energy in the atmosphere is increasing.
Oceans will play an crucial function in regulating air temperature. Let us remember that more than 2/3 of the Earth's surface is covered with seawaters, and we could actually hope that this mass of water would stabilize the thermals of the climate system. Unfortunately, nothing like this happens, and ocean temperatures emergence with the temperature of the atmosphere.
According to planet Meteorological Organization (WMO), the average global temperature in 2022 was 1.11 degrees C above pre-industrial level. This means that we are only about 10 years old to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% to reduce global warming to 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels.
The environmental and economical impacts of climate change are already visible. According to the IPCC study (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), climate change can origin up to 18% of global agricultural production by 2050. In addition, climate change can besides increase sea level by 26 cm by 2050, which could endanger millions of people surviving in coastal areas.
Are we it summertime yet? It is not besides late to take action to reduce climate change. Prof. Bogdan Chojnicki pointed out that if we proceed the current trend, we can anticipate increasingly utmost weather phenomena specified as droughts, floods and hurricanes. It is so crucial to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.
According to data from the Polish Press Agency, in 2022 Poland emitted about 344 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, which accounted for about 1.2% of global emissions. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Poland plans to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix to 23% by 2030.
What can we do to reduce climate change? We can start with pequen changes in our regular lives, specified as:
* Oh, yeah * simplification of electricity consumption
* usage of organic products
* Recycling
* usage of public transport or bicycle
* Limiting meat consumption
Furthermore, we can support organisations and initiatives that deal with environmental protection and climate change.
Conclusions:
– Climate change is real and requires immediate action.
"The destabilization of the climate strategy can at any point begin to take place alone.
“The oceans will play an crucial function in regulating air temperature.
"The impact of climate change on the environment and the economy is already visible.
"We can take action to reduce climate change, specified as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change.
