The size of the jump in temperatures in 2023 surprised many scientists \u2013 sparking speculation about what might be behind the surge<\/a>, in addition to carbon emissions and El Ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

Theories include changes to clouds and tiny particles called aerosols, which appear to be reflecting less of the Sun’s energy back into space.<\/p>\n

The persistence of extreme warmth into 2025<\/a> “suggests that there might be some mysteries that we haven’t fully solved”, said Hausfather.<\/p>\n

“We are seeing rapid warming at the upper end of our longer-term expectations,” agreed Sutton.<\/p>\n

But whether the last three years have significiant implications for the longer term “is not yet clear”, he added, with more data needed before making firm conclusions.<\/p>\n

While scientists expect more records to be broken in the years ahead, they emphasise that the future impacts of climate change are not set in stone.<\/p>\n

“We can strongly affect what happens,” said Sutton, “both by mitigating climate change – that’s by cutting greenhouse gas emissions to stabilise warming – and of course also by adapting, by making society more resilient to ongoing changes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The size of the jump in temperatures in 2023 surprised many scientists \u2013 sparking speculation about what might…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-368845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
