March 2025 was the hottest month in Europe

Meteorological Institute ‘Copernicus’ claims

Bonn (Germany) – Global temperatures hovered at historic highs in March, Europe’s climate monitor said, prolonging an unprecedented heat streak that has pushed the bounds of scientific explanation.In Europe, it was the hottest March ever recorded by a significant margin, said the Copernicus Climate Change Service, driving rainfall extremes across a continent warming faster than any other.

The world meanwhile saw the second-hottest March in the Copernicus dataset, sustaining a near-unbroken spell of record or near-record-breaking temperatures that has persisted since July 2023.Since then, virtually every month has been at least 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than it was before the industrial revolution, when humans began burning massive amounts of coal, oil and gas.

Climate change increases the risk of heavy rains and floods

Scientists warn that every fraction of a degree of global warming increases the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall and droughts.Climate change is not just about rising temperatures but the knock-on effect of all that extra heat being trapped in the atmosphere and seas by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.Warmer seas mean higher evaporation and greater moisture in the atmosphere, causing heavier deluges and feeding energy into storms.This also affects global rainfall patterns.

Heat wave in many states of India

The intense heat wave has also begun in India. A heat wave warning has been issued in the northwestern states of the country. The night temperature in Rajasthan has also crossed 45 degrees Celsius. The maximum temperature in the capital Delhi has reached 41 degrees Celsius.

Editorial Perspective

This is the ‘gift’ given to humanity by modern science ! To prevent the degradation of nature, there is no alternative to returning to the ancient ‘sage-agricultural culture’, as well as a lifestyle in harmony with nature.
