Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024 and it passed a major climate threshold, several monitoring agencies announced Friday. Last year’s global average temperature surpassed the long-term warming limit of 1.5 C (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) called for in the 2015 Paris climate pact. The evidence is clear humans are key contributors to the climate crisis.

Each of the last four decades has been warmer than any decade that preceded it, dating back to 1850.

This global warming has been caused by human activities, primarily the emission of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, according to the 2023 synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. And we’re seeing the impacts in heat waves, wildfires, intense rainfall, and coastal flooding.
