Via Kate Abnett and Alison Withers in reuters.com: The world just experienced the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial times, scientists said on Friday. The milestone was confirmed by the European Unions Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), which said climate change is pushing the planets temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. The trajectory is just incredible, C3S director Carlo Buontempo told Reuters, describing how every month in 2024 was the warmest or second-warmest for that month since records began.
