Scientists Warn of , Climate Calamity , Following Hottest January Ever.<br />'The Guardian' reports that scientists have warned the <br />world is not prepared for coming climate disasters as <br />global warming continues to break temperature records. .<br />Following the hottest year ever recorded, marine <br />scientists have been shocked by prolonged, intense <br />temperatures at the surface of the world's oceans. .<br />Following the hottest year ever recorded, marine <br />scientists have been shocked by prolonged, intense <br />temperatures at the surface of the world's oceans. .<br />According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2024 has a one-in-three <br />chance of being even hotter than 2023. .<br />Higher global temperatures increase <br />the risk of both fires and flooding. .<br />Higher global temperatures increase <br />the risk of both fires and flooding. .<br />In Chile, President Gabriel Boric has declared a two-day period <br />of national mourning following the country's deadliest <br />recorded wildfire which killed 120 people in the Valparaíso region.<br />In the United States, California declared <br />a state of emergency amid an "atmospheric river" <br />which has resulted in unprecedented amounts of rain. .<br />Fuelled by extreme weather <br />and climate extremes, the frequency <br />of climate-related disasters has <br />dramatically risen in recent years, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of <br />Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.<br />Fuelled by extreme weather <br />and climate extremes, the frequency <br />of climate-related disasters has <br />dramatically risen in recent years, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of <br />Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.<br />In some regions of the world, <br />we are facing climate-fueled <br />disasters for which we are not <br />prepared, and it is unlikely that we <br />will be able to fully adapt to them, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of <br />Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.<br />In some regions of the world, <br />we are facing climate-fueled <br />disasters for which we are not <br />prepared, and it is unlikely that we <br />will be able to fully adapt to them, Raul Cordero, climate professor at the University of <br />Groningen and the University of Santiago, via 'The Guardian'.<br />Richard Betts of the Met Office’s Hadley Centre urged <br />global leaders to take action to reverse direction <br />on the world's path toward a climate calamity. .<br />We can still limit the extent to <br />which extremes get worse if we <br />urgently reduce greenhouse gas <br />emissions to net zero – but with <br />global emissions still rising, it’s hard <br />not to be increasingly concerned about <br />how we will deal with what’s coming, Richard Betts, Met Office’s Hadley Centre, via 'The Guardian'
