On the brink of the "Point of No Return": The World Smashed Past 1.5°C Global Warming In 2024, Says WMO Report

North Pole

The dream of keeping climate change to within 1.5°C (2.7°F) has taken a major hit. The latest climate report by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 was likely the first calendar year to have a global temperature more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

The global mean near-surface temperature last year was approximately 1.55°C (2.79°F) above the 1850 to 1900 average, making it the warmest year since records began over 175 years ago, according to the WMO’s State of the Global Climate report.
