Analysis: What are the causes of recent record-high global temperatures?

Carbon Brief explores four different factors that have been proposed for the exceptional warmth seen in recent years. These are:

- A strong #ElNiño event that developed in the latter part of 2023.

-Rapid declines in #sulphur dioxide emissions – particularly from international shipping and China.

-An unusual #volcanic eruption in Tonga in 2022.

-A stronger-than-expected #SolarCycle.

Carbon Brief’s analysis finds that a combination of these factors explains most of the unusual warmth observed in 2024 and half of the difference between observed and expected warming in 2023.

However, natural fluctuations in the Earth’s climate may have also played a role in the exceptional temperatures, alongside signs of declining cloud cover that may have implications for the sensitivity of the climate to human-caused emissions.

Volcanic eruptions set off a chain of events that brought the Black Death to Europe

Clues contained in tree rings have identified mid-14th-century volcanic activity as the first domino to fall in a sequence that led to the devastation of the Black Death in Europe.

Volcanic eruption triggered 'butterfly effect' that led to the Black Death, researchers find

A volcanic eruption in 1345 may have kicked off a series of events that led to the Black Death sweeping through medieval Europe.

Die Landschaft auf der Südseite des Ätna oberhalb des Rifugio Sapienza ist von einer einzigartigen, mondähnlichen Szenerie geprägt. Beim Wandern durchquere ich karge Lavafelder, deren schwarze, erstarrte Oberfläche von zahlreichen Rissen durchzogen ist. Die Lavadecke ist rau und scharfkantig, oft mit einer verkrusteten oder blasigen Struktur, die von früheren Ausbrüchen zeugt. Zwischen den Lavaflächen öffnen sich Blicke auf zerklüftete Krater und Aschefelder, die zusammen ein faszinierendes, fast surreal anmutendes Panorama bieten.
