Earth records its hottest year ever in 2024 and passes major climate threshold, scientists say
- 2024 was the hottest year on record, breaking the previous record set in 2023, with global temperatures rising 1.6 degrees Celsius, according to Copernicus.
- The year also marked the first time the global average temperature surpassed the 1.5-degree limit set by the Paris Agreement, according to multiple agencies.
- Extreme weather events occurred globally, including catastrophic floods in Spain and back-to-back hurricanes in the US, with scientists attributing these to the climate crisis.
- Scientists warn that continued fossil fuel consumption will likely lead to even hotter decades ahead, despite predictions that 2025 may not break 2024's record heat.
