The World Meteorological Organization's State of the Climate report reveals 2024 is on track to become the hottest year on record, surpassing critical temperature thresholds.
Scientists have cautioned that surpassing the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold set by the Paris Agreement is alarming, marking the realm of climate tipping points.
While 2024’s temperature rise likely exceeds past records, the WMO states this passing of the 1.5 threshold is temporary, not indicating a permanent trend.
The warming trend from 2015 to 2024 is unprecedented, with 16 months of global average temperatures frequently blowing past anything recorded before.
