2024 is projected to end as the hottest year on record, marking the second consecutive year of record-setting temperatures, according to climate scientists.
Experts emphasize that the trend of back-to-back record years indicates a concerning trajectory for global climate conditions.
The year has seen a combination of natural climate variability and human-induced factors, such as greenhouse gases, contributing to rising temperatures.
Preliminary data reveals that the average global temperature in the first 11 months of 2024 was significantly higher than historical averages, with predictions for December showing little chance of a reversal.
As the climate crisis intensifies, experts warn of more extreme weather events, including intensified hurricanes and heatwaves, with human activity playing a crucial role in these changes.
