Global average surface air temperature on Sunday hit 17.09 degrees Celsius, the warmest on record since 1940, surpassing last year's record. The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service warns of entering uncharted territory with new temperature highs in the future.
Scientists attribute scorching temperatures to human-induced global warming. Every month since June 2023 has been the hottest recorded, indicating ongoing climate change impact.
Given current climate change trends and the effects of the ended El Nino, some experts speculate that 2024 might exceed 2023 as the hottest year globally, accentuating the urgency of climate action.
