WASHINGTON, D.C. — A confirms that 2024 was the hottest year recorded in human history, underscoring the rapid pace of the worsening climate crisis. According to the report, released by NASA and NOAA, for the first time, temperatures surpassed the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

“The threats that climate change poses to our wildlife, water, and way of life could not be clearer,” said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. “This new data affirms that human-caused climate disruption’s effects, including exacerbating the intensity of the California wildfires and power of recent hurricanes like Milton and Helene, are features rather than bugs of our new climate reality. This is why it’s critical that we continue to invest in proven natural climate solutions, innovative and emerging technologies, and resilience strategies to help ensure that natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, heatwaves, and floods do not become unnatural and insurmountable tragedies.”
