Quick Glance: Global Coral Bleaching Event After Extreme Heat
- US climate agency NOAA declares a concerning global coral bleaching event for the fourth time in history after a year of extreme ocean heat.
- Impacts of coral bleaching span oceans worldwide, with sea surface temperatures at record levels.
- Corals under extreme heat stress can recover, but otherwise, the reef requires several years to regenerate.
- Despite losses, some reefs show signs of color, offering hope for potential recovery, while scientists caution about the escalating impacts.

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.

Quick Glance: Global Record: Warmest March Ever
- Last month marked the warmest March globally on record and the tenth consecutive month with new temperature records for respective months.
- According to a report from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), the EU's climate monitoring service, global temperatures in March surpassed the pre-industrial average for that month from 1850 to 1900 by 1.68°C and were 0.73°C above the 1991-2020 average for March. The previous month also exceeded the previous March record by 0.10°C set in 2016.
- The global average temperature from April 2023 to March 2024 is now the highest on record, standing at 1.58°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.
- In Europe, temperatures in March 2024 were 2.12°C above the 1991-2020 average for the month, with significantly above-average temperatures observed in central and eastern Europe.

news.sky.com/story/climate-change-worlds-oceans-reach-highest-temperature-on-record-13088540
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.

Quick Glance: Dallas Heat Islands Experience Intense Temperatures
- Concerns are raised about the potential worsening of critical heat in certain key areas of Dallas, impacting particularly vulnerable populations, as emphasized by advocates.
- These urbanized areas that experience more heat than the surrounding countryside are termed heat islands due to the increased absorption and release of sun's warmth by buildings and roads.
- Mapping the hottest spots in cities aims to pinpoint them for aiding cities in decision-making regarding combating extreme heat for the welfare of their residents.
- The study's continuation aims to finalize the city's mapping and is scheduled for late July or early August. Evans mentioned a requirement of approximately 200 volunteers.
