Last decade was Earth’s hottest ever as CO2 levels reach an 800,000-year high, says UN report
- In 2024, the World Meteorological Organization reported that climate change reached unprecedented levels, with the year being the warmest on record and 1.55°C above pre-industrial temperatures, which poses serious long-term risks to the planet and humanity.
- The report indicated that each of the past eight years has set new records for ocean heat, with atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at their highest in 800,000 years.
- Extreme weather events in 2024, including hurricanes and flooding, caused the highest number of new displacements recorded in 16 years and exacerbated global food crises and economic losses.
- The WMO Secretary-General emphasized that while one year above 1.5°C does not eliminate the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, it serves as a wake-up call regarding the risks to lives, economies, and the planet.

Industrial-level CO2 to formate conversion on Turing-structured electrocatalysts
Industrializing the electrosynthesis of formate from CO2 reduction in membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolysers necessitates tuning both electrocatalysts and the interfacial water microenvironment. Here we cast a series of Turing-structured topology electrocatalysts, which can control the reorientation of interfacial water through the tuning of surface oxophilicity, for industrial-level conversion of CO2 to formate. Experimental and theore…
Past decade sets new record for global temperatures
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded, making the last 10 years the warmest in nearly two centuries of data collection.Delger Erdenesanaa reports for The New York Times.In short:Global temperatures in 2024 averaged 1.55 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, surpassing the previous record set in 2023.Greenhouse gas concentrations, including carbon dioxide and methane, reached leve…
Past 10 years also the hottest 10 since record-keeping began: UN weather agency
The latest WMO report revealed that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached their highest point in 800,000 years. On a global scale, each of the last ten years ranks among the ten hottest on record
