2024 was the warmest year since records began being kept 175 years ago. According to the World Meteorological Organization’s latest State of the Global Climate report:
- Each of the past ten years set a new global temperature record.
- Each of the past eight years set a new record for ocean heat content.
- The 18 lowest Arctic sea-ice extents on record were all in the past 18 years.
- The three lowest Antarctic ice extents were in the past three years.
- The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years.
- The rate of sea level rise has doubled since satellite measurements began.[1]
There is no room for doubt: Earth is getting hotter. The question now is how hot will it get?
Definitely. The wars this will cause will exacerbate the whole situation as well.
Most of deaths will be from famine. Even some 5 billion dead after nuclear exchange will be from resulting agriculture failure.
