A new NASA study confirms 2024 as the hottest year on record, with global temperatures soaring 1.28°C above the Paris Agreement target. This alarming trend follows 15 consecutive months of record-breaking temperatures, raising serious concerns about the planet's future. Experts warn that the current rate of warming could lead to catastrophic consequences, including sea level rise and widespread ecosystem disruption.

Climate scientists must fear sounding like a broken record when discussing new record temperatures yearly. But once again, last year was the hottest one ever recorded, according to a new study by NASA scientists.

That’s not a great start, but the data gets even more dire for the climate-conscious. Temperatures in 2024 were already 1.47? above a baseline of temperatures from 1850-1900, a time before the industrial revolution, or automobile transportation, had taken off.
