Calor extremo | Copernicus confirmó temperatura mundial récord en junio

The article highlights that global temperatures have temporarily exceeded the critical threshold of 1.5°C for twelve consecutive months, with an annual average reaching 1.64°C above pre-industrial levels. This trend, driven by record sea surface temperatures and extreme weather events, confirms that occurrences surpassing this limit will become increasingly frequent. However, it is clarified that these monthly peaks do not signify the permanent failure of the Paris Agreement, as the target is measured using long-term averages spanning at least two decades. The relevance of this report for the field of open data lies in the transparency and accessibility of the climate monitoring infrastructure. The Copernicus Climate Change Service, supported by the European Commission and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), provides periodic bulletins and public datasets, such as ERA5, enabling civil society, researchers, and developers to verify and analyze the climate crisis in real time. This availability of open data is crucial for validating scientific claims and fostering accountability regarding greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the publication of these data facilitates the analysis of specific regional impacts, from floods in Europe to wildfires in South America, demonstrating how open information can be transformed into useful tools for adaptation and decision-making. The ability of citizens and organizations to directly access these climate metrics strengthens democratic oversight of the planet’s condition, promoting an evidence-based data culture to combat climate change.
