Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
- The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.
- The 1.5-degree limit of the Paris Climate Agreement is at risk as the average temperature from March 2023 to February 2024 exceeded this threshold.
- In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once, glaciers lost record amounts of ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest level.
- Despite the alarming news, there is a glimmer of hope as renewable energy capacity has significantly increased, and calls for more climate action are growing.
