Earth records hottest year ever in 2024 and the jump was so big it breached a key threshold
Friday, 10 January 2025 ()
Global temperatures in 2024 soared to yet another record level, but this time it was such a big jump that Earth temporarily passed a major symbolic climate threshold. Three government climate agencies in Europe and Japan say last year’s global average temperature easily passed 2023's record heat and kept pushing even higher. It breaks the long-term warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 1800s that was set as a target by the 2015 Paris climate pact. A European team calculated 1.6 degrees Celsius (2.89 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming. American agencies are expected to have similar results later Friday.
