Over the past year, the Earth has experienced the hottest year on record, with unprecedented ocean temperatures and a continuous series of heat waves, droughts, floods, wildfires, and storms. Officials announced on Thursday that carbon dioxide levels, which are driving exceptional heat within Earth's atmosphere, are rising faster than ever, according to NOAA and UC San Diego scientists. Global average temperatures have hit record highs for 12 consecutive months since June 2023, leading millions of people to face dangerous heat and storms. UN Chief has described the situation as the world being on a 'highway to climate hell'. Rick Spinrad of NOAA highlighted the increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. Scientists are unpacking the impacts of this prolonged period of record heat around the globe.
