The latest data from 2024 shows that the planet is approaching the 1.5°C warming threshold. BBC reports.
2024 recorded temperature exceeded previous records; fossil fuel emissions continue to warm the atmosphere.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called record global temperatures a "climate violation" and called countries to take urgent measures to reduce harmful emissions.
It refers to human activity and natural phenomena such as El Niño (climate change in the Pacific Ocean).
According to experts, this process is dangerous because a few degrees of warming can lead to more frequent and intense weather conditions, such as heat waves, hurricanes, and droughts.
It is noteworthy that the consequences of climate change have already started to be felt all over the world.
According to scientists, if appropriate steps are not taken, we will face unprecedented climate change in the next decades.
