"Planet Earth Sets 10th Consecutive Hottest Month Record, Climate Scientists Alarmed"

March 2024 marked the 10th consecutive month of record-breaking global heat, with temperatures reaching 14.14 degrees Celsius, fueled by marine heat waves and human-caused climate change. Scientists attribute the trend to carbon dioxide and methane emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation. With the Paris Agreement aiming to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, urgent global action is needed to achieve net zero emissions and mitigate the impact of rising temperatures.

"March Marks 10th Consecutive Hottest Month on Record, Alarming Climate Scientists"

March 2024 marked the 10th consecutive month of record-breaking global heat, with both air temperatures and ocean temperatures hitting all-time highs, attributed to human-caused climate change from carbon dioxide and methane emissions. Scientists emphasize the need to stop burning fossil fuels and take more sustainable actions to curb rising greenhouse gas concentrations. The trajectory of increasing temperatures is not expected to change until these measures are taken, with the globe experiencing 12 months of average monthly temperatures surpassing the Paris Agreement threshold.

July 2021: Global Heat Records Shattered

Average temperatures for the entire globe in July have reached their highest on record, with global air temperatures surpassing previous records set in 2016 and 2022. The first two weeks of July were likely the warmest two-week period on record, and last month was the warmest June since at least 1850. The extreme heat and record temperatures are driven by the continued emissions of heat-trapping gases, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, and the return of El Niño. The effects of global warming include more frequent and intense periods of extreme heat, as well as other extreme weather events such as droughts, wildfires, and flooding.
