In 2024, Earth recorded its hottest year, surpassing the critical 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold noted in the Paris Agreement. This notable increase from previous records, largely due to rising greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, highlights urgent climate concerns. Weather agencies from Europe, Japan, and the UK calculated temperature increases from 1.53 to 1.6 degrees Celsius. Despite a cooling El Nino and volcanic effects, these temperatures mark the last decade as the hottest on record. Alarmingly, scientists warn of the catastrophic impacts on natural systems and human societies, urging adherence to international climate policies.
