Quick Glance: Shrinking Sweets: Concerns of Chocolate Collapse
- Around the world this weekend, hundreds of millions of Easter eggs and bunnies will be consumed, with a global cocoa shortage leading to price hikes and smaller chocolate bars.
- Rising cocoa prices have reached record highs, prompting warnings of further price increases and size reductions in chocolate products.
- Hedge funds have placed significant bets on the commodity price, while household items like coffee, tea, bananas, and cocoa are threatened by global warming.
- Experts caution on the long-term impacts on cocoa production as prices remain high and investments are needed to secure the supply.
2023 confirmed as world's hottest year on record: Climate records have tumbled "like dominoes" in 2023, with temperatures far above any recorded level.
bbc.com/news/science-environment-67861954
Quick Glance: 2023 Marks New Record as Hottest Year Worldwide
- Last year's average temperature was 1.48C higher than before the massive burning of fossil fuels, according to the EU's climate service.
- Since July, a new global air temperature record for the time of year has been recorded almost every day, as shown by BBC analysis.
- These global records are bringing the world closer to breaching important international climate targets.
- The margin of some of these records is 'truly astonishing', says Prof. Dessler, considering they are averages across the whole world.

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy
- Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.
- The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.
- Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.
- The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

cnbc.com/2024/03/19/earth-on-the-brink-of-a-key-warming-threshold-after-chart-busting-year.html
Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
- The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.
- The 1.5-degree limit of the Paris Climate Agreement is at risk as the average temperature from March 2023 to February 2024 exceeded this threshold.
- In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once, glaciers lost record amounts of ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level.
- Despite the alarming news, there is a glimmer of hope as renewable energy capacity has significantly increased, and calls for more climate action are growing.

Climate change: High February temperatures smash global weather records as planet heats up
scotsman.com/news/environment/climate-change-high-february-temperatures-smash-global-weather-records-as-planet-heats-up-4545742
Quick Glance: Earth Records Hottest February and Ninth Consecutive Record Month
- Earth just experienced its warmest February, marking a monthly record for the ninth consecutive time, as announced by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service on Wednesday.
- The relentless and exceptional global warmth, driven by human-caused warming and the El Niño climate pattern, has affected both land and ocean areas since June, raising concerns among scientists about the planet surpassing a critical climate threshold and the potential for an active Atlantic hurricane season.
- The month's average global air temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius was 0.12 degrees warmer than the previous warmest February in 2016. The warmth of the past 12-month period is unprecedented in modern records, standing at 1.56 degrees warmer than preindustrial levels.
- The new temperature records emerged just a month after the planet's 12-month average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time, leading scientists to worry about the increased likelihood of reaching tipping points with catastrophic consequences if the Earth's temperature remains near or above that threshold for extended periods.
