As previously reported, 2024 was the hottest year since we started recording global temperature.
It exceeded 2023, the previous record holder, by a wide margin.
With the 2024 increase, we exceeded the +1.5°C warming threshold that scientists were trying to avoid via the Paris Agreement.
We can all tell our children we each had a hand in setting this new record on our watch. They will be soooo proud of us!
