Copernicus Climate Change Service says 2024 marks "a new milestone" and that it is “virtually certain” that 2024 will be the hottest year on record
Their report found 2024 is likely to be the first year more than 1.5C hotter than before the Industrial Revolution, a level of warming that has alarmed scientists.
The scientists found global temperatures for the past 12 months were 1.62C greater than the 1850 to 1900 average when humanity started to burn vast volumes of coal, oil and gas.

Look carefully and you may be able to spot a trend!
Even the right wing politicians and right wind media who remain climate change sceptics or who claim that the climate emergency is a hoax might just have the intelligence to understand a picture!
Theyve now shifted to global warming does exist, BUT now its 'natural'. The Earth has warmed and cooled many time throughout its history Ive been told. When I point out I have a degree and Masters in Palaeontology, which includes much of the Isotope and fossil data that thats based on, mention Milankovitch cycles and point out its the speed of change that the problem, and every time its happened this fast before it was due to a volcanic eruption, asteroid strike, big change in geography from plate tectonics opening or closing an ocean or more recently at the PETM 50ish million years ago mass release of Methane (oh look mass release of a fossil fuel) and that they were all accompanied by some sort of large to mass extinction event, they dont really have an answer. Well accept one who said the earth was only 6000 years old... lol
