NASA scientists confirm 2024 as the hottest year ever recorded, breaking consecutive monthly temperature records for 15 months. The report highlights that global temperatures are already 1.28°C above the Paris Agreement's target and 1.47°C above pre-industrial levels, raising concerns about the potential for catastrophic sea level rise.

Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, says, “That’s halfway to Pliocene-level warmth in just 150 years.”, referring to a geological period where a baseline temperature of just 1.
