The exceptional warm weather the world experienced last month did not surprise Climate Scientists. It coincides with a near record increase in Co2 Concentrations in the atmosphere. The link between c02 and rising temperatures is well established and this year Global Temperatures got an extra boost thanks to el nino, which brings warmer water to the surface of parts of the tropical pacific. That explains why february was 1. 77 degrees warmer than preindustrial temperatures, and why global average temperatures hit a record 1. 55 degrees above preindustrial levels over the last 12 months. It means we have temporarily at least breached the 1. 5 degrees threshold the world agreed to try and limit Temperature Rise to, to avoid the worst impacts of Climate Change. February 2024 was the warmest february on record globally, with an average temperature of 13. 54 degrees, above the 1991 2020 temperature. While this is remarkable, because, for instance, it is a tenth of a degree warmer than the wa
And. Oh, no er, yeah, i think thats fast enough, thank you. Pizza baking, burger flipping, salad tossing. Over the years, weve seen food robots chop, fry and saute their way across the kitchen, saving us from one job at a time. Im such a lazy chef. I love eating the food but i want to make making it as quick as possible. See, i dont mind cooking, as long as you dont mind eating the same stuff every day. Well, i think theres a solution for both of our problems. Right over the years, weve seen more and more things become automated in the kitchen with various gadgets but now, the Robotic Kitchen may be upon us. This is the first to Market Robokitchen from moley robotics. Its a fully reliable product which you can put, actually, at your home or restaurant, everywhere, and its safe. Its time for lunch. What are you making me . Today, we actually want to make omelette. Choose the recipe. Its arm sets the temperature, grasps items and moves with Military Precision to deliver ingredients. Next
Vaping and smoking, but the Office For Budget Responsibility warns the government could find it hard to balance the books. Heres our business correspondent, emma simpson. Did you catch any ofjeremy s budget . It was a chance to turn around the fortunes of the Conservative Party. But was it enough . I think its good that the workers are going to get money back in their pockets. But then if you think about the Cost Of Living and how everything is going up, then maybe they could have given a little bit more back. Anything that cuts taxes, i wish he would have done something a bit more for savers, were in a position where were living off savings. I think theyre trying to do it in light of a General Election and probably not really thinking about what the benefit to the country is. The centrepiece of this budget was a £2 billion cut was a 2p in the pound cut to National Insurance, a tax paid by workers. So who are the winners and losers if you include all the changes to tax and thresholds
A record high. Its risen to just under 21 Degrees Celsius, or nearly 70 fahrenheit, in august. Thats far above the average for this time of year, and researchers say it could have serious consequences for the global environment. Our Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt reports. Theyve been taking measurements of Ocean Temperatures here in plymouth for more than a century and for the last 50 or so years, theyve showed a slow but steady increase up about a third of a degree a decade. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know . I heard them Say Something around 18 or 19 which is. Wow . Four Degrees Higher than it should be. Its been a similar pattern globally. Rising Sea Temperatures and increasing numbers of Marine Heatwaves, and it has just reached a new peak 20. 96 Degrees Celsius the highest Global Average sea temperature ever recorded. The worlds warming waters are a dangerous trend, say experts. Peoples perspective is that the ocean, you know, its so big, its so vast that it can buf
Scientists say our oceans have hit their hottest recorded temperature largely because of Climate Change, with alarming implications for the planet. This week the average daily global Sea Surface Temperature hit almost 21 degrees celsius. Thats far above the average for the time of year and it beats the previous record set in 2016. The oceans are a vital regulator of the earths climate. Heres our climate editor, justin rowlatt. Theyve been taking measurements of Ocean Temperatures here in plymouth for more than a century.
