Warming stripes for 1850-2024, changing from blues to reds as the world rapidly warms up

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean? The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

Bad news for climate just announced! In 2024, Earth's average temperature temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This breach highlights accelerating climate risks - toward the end of the "safe zone" defined by the Paris Agreement.🧪🌐🌍

📢 Abstract submission for the #ICMB2025 is now open!
We are looking forward to hosting you all in #Madeira in October!
