AI Summary:
The world has just experienced the first full year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial times. The milestone was confirmed by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) on Friday, which said the climate crisis is pushing the planet’s temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. Each month in 2024 was the warmest or second-warmest for that month since records began. July 10 was the hottest day recorded by humans, with the globe averaging 17.16 degrees Celsius (62.89 degrees Fahrenheit), Copernicus found. Britain’s Met Office confirmed 2024’s likely breach of 1.5C, while estimating a slightly lower average temperature rise of 1.53C for the year. United States scientists are also expected to publish their 2024 climate data on Friday. The amount of water vapour in the planet’s atmosphere reached a record high in 2024. But even as the costs of these disasters spiral, the political will to invest in curbing emissions has waned in some countries. US President-elect Donald Trump has called climate change a 'hoax'
