PETALING JAYA: Pahang has defeated Perak 4-3 on aggregate to book a spot in the Malaysia Cup semi-finals.
The world has been getting hotter for decades but a sudden and extraordinary surge in heat has sent the climate deeper into uncharted territory -- and scientists are still trying to figure out why.
"Warming in 2023 was head-and-shoulders above any other year, and 2024 will be as well," said Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, in November."We're still in the process of assessing what happened and if we are seeing a shift in how the climate system operates."When burned, fossil fuels emit greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat near the Earth's surface.
What occurred was"at the limit of what we would expect based on existing climate models", Sonia Seneviratne, a climatologist from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, told AFP. This energy was released back to the surface when an opposite, warming El Nino event took over in mid-2023, boosting global temperatures.Temperatures have not fallen as fast as they rose, and November was still the second-warmest on record.
In December, another peer-reviewed paper looked at whether a reduction in low-lying clouds had let more heat reach Earth's surface. "We cannot exclude that some other factors also further amplified the temperatures... the verdict is still out," said Seneviratne.
