EU monitor warns: 2024 increasingly likely to be warmest year on record
ai generated text
It is increasingly likely that 2024 will be the hottest year on record. The global average temperature has been setting new records each month from June 2023 to June 2024, with July 2024 being only 0.04 degree Celsius below July 2023. This suggests that despite July ending a 13-month streak of monthly temperature records, 2024 is still on track to be the hottest year on record.
The streak of record-breaking months has come to an end, but only by a whisker.
The devastating effects of climate change started well before 2023 and will continue until global greenhouse gas emissions reach net zero.
The end of record-breaking monthly temperatures is not cause for celebration.
To stop climate change, we need to stop burning fossil fuels, stop deforestation and replace them with renewable energy. We have all the technology and know-how to do that … We just lack the political will.
