NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies stated on Tuesday (10) that 2024 had the second hottest November in history from the records of the North American space agency.
The average temperature for the period was 1.31 °C warmer than the average observed between 1951 and 1980 used as a comparative basis by NASA. According to the agency, above-average temperatures follow “an alarming long-term trend caused by human activities”.
“NASA researchers and scientists around the world have concluded that observed long-term warming is due to human activity, identifying climate ‘fingerprints’ specific to the warming caused by our increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as studying and ruling out natural causes of climate change, such as changes in solar energy,” NASA said on X (formerly Twitter).
The only year that recorded a warmer November than the one experienced in 2024 was precisely 2023, which had an average 1.44 °C higher than that recorded between 1951 and 1980.
