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 warmest previous february, which was 2016, its not really surprising, because this has been the el nino year, where temperatures tend

About an incident in gaza city. More than 100 palestinians have been killed while trying to get food aid in gaza city. These are images from the scene in the south west of the city. Joe biden described it as tragic and alarming as he spoke with the leaders of egypt and qatar. These are images from the scene in the southwest of gaza city. Eyewitnesses say a large number of people had approached the convoy of aid trucks as it passed a checkpoint, apparently trying to grab what they could. Since the war began, the amount of food getting into gaza has dropped dramatically, and aid agencies have warned of impending starvation. The Israeli Military released these aerial pictures. It says some soldiers on the checkpoint felt the crowd posed a threat and opened fire. In the chaos that followed, the trucks tried to move forward. Accounts differ, but one witness said that many of the deaths were caused by people being run over. The trucks were overwhelmed and the people driving the trucks, which
