WASHINGTON (APP) – According to European, the unusual cold -powered United States, a cooling La Nina and a little hot from 2025, despite the predictions, the world in January another monthly heat record in January He summarized. Camed Service Coopernax.
The surprising January Heat records with a new research by the climate heavyweight, former NASA senior scientist James Hanson, and others. Global warming Is getting faster. This is a claim that is dividing the research community.
January 2025 globally 0.09 degrees Celsius (0.16 degrees Fahrenheit) hot compared to January 2024, which was hot compared to previous hot January, and it was 1.75 centigrade (3.15 f) than before the industrial age, County of Copperonx. It was the last 19th month of the 19th that the world agreed or passed it internationally 1.5 C Heat range (2.7 f) above the industrial times Scientists will not violate limits Unless the global temperature is above it for 20 years.

Coppernics records the history of 1940, but other US and British records return in 1850, and scientists such as proxy -based trees ring say that this period in about 120,000 years or after the beginning of human civilization The hottest is.
So far the largest heat heat driver is the construction of greenhouse gas from burning coal, oil and natural gas, but the natural contribution to temperature changes is not working as expected, climate for European weather. Strategic edge for. Agency
The largest natural factor in global temperatures is usually the natural cycle of changes in the Pacific Pacific waters. When the Central Ocean is particularly hot, it is an El Nano and the global temperature rises. Last year was a coffee l nino, though it Ended last June And the year was even more hot than expected, the hottest in the record.
El Nano’s cooler flip side, La Nina, has a tendency to reduce the effects of global warming, which reduces record temperatures. A la la nina Began in January After drinking for months. Only last month, the climate scientists Predict that 2025 With a major reason for La Nina, it will not be as hot as 2024 or 2023.
“Although the Equality Pacific is not creating conditions that are warming up for our global climate, we are still watching record temperatures,” said Burgess, “said Burgess, most of the world. The rest of the oceans is due to warmth.
Burgess told the Associate Press, usually after an El nano like last year, the temperature drops rapidly, but “we didn’t see it.”
For Americans, the hot January news in January may be strange how cool it was. Burgess said, but the United States is only a small part of the planet’s surface, and “a large area of ​​the planet surface was much hot than average.”
In the Arctic, January was irregularly lighter. Burgess said the temperature in parts of the Arctic of Canada is more than 30 degrees Celsius (54F) average and the temperature began to melt in so much hot seawater.
Coopernicks said the Arctic recorded January this month’s low sea snow. It was in the US -based national snow and ice data center The second lowestBehind 2018.

Burgess said February started cooling over last year.
Count 2025 in the hottest year race, Hanson saidFormer NASA scientist, called the godfather of climate science. He is now at Columbia University. In a study in the journal Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable DevelopmentHanson and his colleagues said that in the last 15 years, the rate has doubled in the last 40 years.
“I believe this high rate will continue for at least several years,” Hanson told the Associate Press in an interview. “Throughout the year, it is going to become a nap and tuck between 2024 and 2025.”
Hanson said the temperature has increased significantly despite the change in the variations and expected climate of L -Nano since 2020. He noted the recent shipping rules, which in turn reduced sulfur pollution, which reflects some sunlight away from the ground and effectively reduces the warming. And it will continue, he said.
“Michigan environment Dan Jonathan Overpeak, who was not part of Hanson’s study, said,” 2023, 2024 and now in the first month of 2025, the Environment Environment, said Dan Jonathan Overpeak. To say less. “” There is little doubt that the effects of global warming and climate change are intensifying. “
But Princeon’s Gabie Vichy and Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania said he did not agree with Hanson on the export. Vachi said there is not enough data to show that this is not a random opportunity. Mann said the temperature rise is still within the prediction of the climate model.
