Climate change. 2024, the year of all records?

In 2024, climate shocks affect the lives of millions of people around the world more than ever before: droughts, floods, heat, fires... No continent is spared from the consequences of climate change. When the Earth is suffocating, we must act.

If 2023 broke temperature records, it seems that 2024 will not escape the rule: the month of June was the warmest ever recorded in the world, and July 22 the warmest day in more than 100,000 years.

Strong heat has affected China, India, Mexico, Greece and even Saudi Arabia. The Amazon, the lungs of the planet, is also experiencing a wave of drought. Over the past 12 months, the global temperature has averaged 1.64°C higher than in the pre-industrial era. This number may seem low, but the effects of such an increase are already being felt on the planet: acidification and rising ocean and sea levels, acceleration of ice melting, sea heat waves, etc. ( More on carefrance.org)
