In 2024, the world has experienced a series of extreme weather events and record-breaking temperatures, attributed to significant climate changes. Researchers have noted an unusual increase in ocean temperatures, likening the rapid change to the climate advancing by 50 to 100 years. This phenomenon has coincided with severe weather patterns globally, including flooding in Brazil and Houston, and intense heatwaves in Asia. The European climate agency confirmed that April 2024 was the warmest on record, highlighting a trend of escalating global warmth over the past 11 months.
