According to three vital global metrics for ocean temperatures, 2024 was the warmest year on record. The coincidence of all three global metrics being highest on record is unusual. The last time was 2016. The three metrics are the global mean surface temperature (GMST), the global sea surface temperatures (SST), and the global ocean heat content (OHC)  from the surface to 2000m depth.  The most reliable indicator of the warming planet is the OHC, which acts as an integrator of all heating.

Según tres métricas globales vitales para las temperaturas oceánicas, 2024 fue el año más cálido registrado. La coincidencia de que las tres sean las más altas es inusual. No pasaba desde 2016. Las tres métricas son la temperatura superficial media global (GMST), las temperaturas superficiales marinas globales (SST) y el contenido de calor oceánico global (OHC) desde la superficie hasta los 2.000 metros de profundidad.

Opinion: World leaders from more than 100 countries are gathering this week at the United Nations climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, at COP29, to discuss the threats of a rapidly warming world. Under the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, which has been signed by almost every country in the world, there is a requirement for countries to submit their own climate targets, reflecting their “common but differentiated responsibilities”.
