If you believe in truth, consider these recent climate change facts:

  • According to multiple datasets, 2024 was the warmest global temperature year since 1850.
  • The global average surface temperature in 2024 was 0.72°C above the 1991-2020 average.
  • 2024 was 1.60°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, making it the first calendar year to exceed the 1.5°C threshold.
  • The last ten years have been the warmest on record, indicating a clear and persistent global warming trend.
