The Copernicus team calculated 1.6 degrees Celsius of warming, Japan 1.57 and the British 1.53. Berkeley Earth — founded by a climate change skeptic — came in the hottest at 1.62 degrees. Much of the differences, which are small, stem from which ocean temperature tools are used.
Copernicus said the global temperature for all of 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level. ... Association found that heat deaths in the United States have nearly doubled since ...
