EU Scientists Confirm 2024 as Earth's Hottest Year Amid Mass Extinction Concerns
Dec 9, 2024, 03:10 AM
2024 is set to become the hottest year on record, according to multiple reports from scientists and news organizations. The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service has confirmed that this year will surpass the previous record set in 2023, which was the warmest year in human history. The trend of increasing temperatures is attributed to several factors, including a decrease in cloud cover over the past two years, allowing more sunlight to reach and heat the Earth's surface. This rapid warming is raising concerns about fundamental changes to the global climate, with some scientists warning of potential mass extinction events due to the combined effects of global warming and habitat destruction.
