[the european union's climate monitoring agency, the copernicus climate change service (c3s), released data showing that august this year tied with august 2023 as the hottest august since the agency began recording in 1940. in that month, the global average surface temperature was 16.82 degrees celsius, 1.51 degrees celsius higher than the pre-industrial level (1850-1900).]

on the 6th local time, the copernicus climate change service (c3s), the eu climate monitoring agency, released data that august this year and august 2023 were tied as the hottest augusts since the agency began recording in 1940. in that month, the global average surface temperature was 16.82 degrees celsius, 1.51 degrees celsius higher than the pre-industrial level (1850-1900).

according to the temperature control targets proposed in the paris agreement, by the end of this century, the global average temperature rise should be controlled within 2 degrees celsius above the pre-industrial level, and efforts should be made to control the temperature rise within 1.5 degrees celsius.

samantha burgess, deputy director of c3s, said: "in the past three months of 2024, the earth has experienced the hottest june and august on record, the hottest day and the hottest northern hemisphere summer on record. this series of record high temperatures increases the probability that 2024 will become the hottest year on record."

she said that unless we take urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this summer's temperature-related extremes will only become more severe, with more devastating consequences for people and the planet.
