Last year was the warmest on record, the first to breach a symbolic threshold, and brought with it deadly impacts like flooding and drought, scientists have said. Two new datasets found 2024 was the first calendar year when average global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial levels – before humans started burning fossil fuels at scale.…

The chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C is “virtually zero” on current trends, according to the UN’s environment body. This year’s Emissions Gap Report finds that emissions of greenhouse gasses in 2023 were the highest on record. More concerning, the rate of growth since 2022 was nearly twice as fast as in the decade…
