The climate crisis has continued uninterrupted 2020.urtean. In Europe, the highest temperatures have been recorded, with peaks in the interior. Due to the closures caused by the coronavirus crisis, although the use of fossil fuels has decreased by 7%, carbon dioxide that prevents heat output has continued to accumulate in the atmosphere, so 2020 has reached its peak, matching the 2016 data.

The average surface temperature of the planet has increased by 1.25°C in 2020, near the 1.5°C target set by the nations of the world to avoid the worst impacts.

Parts of the Arctic and northern Siberia have suffered in 2020 one of the highest deviations from the average annual temperature, with deviations of up to 3°C in some major regions and more than 6°C in others.

In general, the northern hemisphere has had higher than average temperatures throughout the year o.Por, on the contrary, in some areas of the southern hemisphere lower than average temperatures are recorded.

The last decade, the warmest.

The year 2020 was the hottest in Europe and according to the annual report of the Climate Change Service COPERNICUS, the decade 2010-2020 has been the warmest in history. The European Climate Change Service also indicated that carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere continued to rise last year, at a rate of 2.3 particles per million (ppm), reaching a maximum of 431 ppm in May. In 2020, 0.6 degrees Celsius were warmer than the average between 1981 and 2010, and 1.25 degrees more than in the pre-industrial period of 1850-1900. According to these observations, the largest increase in annual temperature compared to the average of 1981-2010 was concentrated in the Arctic Glacier Ocean and northern Siberia, reaching a temperature above 6 °C, with a temperature never seen of 38 °C.
