•Rapid surge in global warming mainly due to reduced planetary albedo

The global mean temperature rose to nearly 1.5 degrees above the preindustrial level in 2023 .
A team from the Alfred Wegener Institute , Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) finds a gap of roughly 0.2 degrees Celsius , which has never been satisfactorily explained.
A possible explanation: our planet has become less reflective because certain types of clouds have declined.
The eastern North Atlantic was characterised by a substantial decline in low-altitude clouds not just in 2023 , but also in the past ten years .
The data shows that the cloud cover at low altitudes has declined, while declining only slightly, if at all, at moderate and high altitudes.
Lower concentrations of anthropogenic aerosols in the atmosphere are likely a contributing factor.
