Earth has recorded its first temperatures in excess of thresholds set in the Paris climate agreement. Here's how warm it was in 2024.

It's official: 2024 was the planet's warmest year on record, according to an analysis by scientists from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

Scientific agencies around the world confirmed that 2024 surpassed the global temperature record set in 2023 as carbon emissions contribute to extreme weather.

NOAA has declared that a La Niña is underway. This cool weather event is likely to be shorter and weaker than usual, but will still affect global weather and climate.

Some fear the wannabe whale psychiatrist heading for the White House will undo progress on climate action and marine protection.
