Scientist Burgess warns that record temperatures could make 2024 the hottest year on record, with extreme heat events becoming more intense and devastating without urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Data from C3S shows a rise in global mean temperatures, following a high number of national heat records being broken this year. The climate crisis, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, makes extreme heat events more likely. Scientists urge for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to prevent further increases in global average temperatures.
