Earth has experienced its hottest year on record in 2024, with warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, a target outlined in international agreements. Scientists have warned that suring this limit over the long term could lead to severe environmental consequences, including increased sea levels, extreme weather events, and widespread ecological damage. Concerns have been raised about the implications for human lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems.

As fossil fuels, has been identified as the primary driver of this warming. Experts, including Samantha Burgess of the Copernicus Climate Service, have linked rising temperatures to phenomena such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and intensified weather patterns.

The United States alone recorded 27 weather-related disasters, each causing damages exceeding $1 billion, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric istration (NOAA). Hurricane Helene, which caused over $79 billion in damage and claimed 219 lives, was the most devastating event of the year. Scientists, such as Katharine Hayhoe from Texas Tech University, have highlighted the increasing frequency of such disasters, with billion-dollar events now occurring every three weeks on average.
