Subject Terms: GLOBAL temperature changes, EL Nino, EXTREME weather, CLIMATE change, TEMPERATURE measuring instruments, GLACIAL erosion
Abstract: The article focuses on the annual assessment known as the State of the Climate, which documents the status and trajectory of various components of the climate system, including land, oceans, and the atmosphere. The 2024 report highlights a record high global temperature for the second consecutive year, influenced by a strong El Niño, and notes significant climate anomalies and extreme weather events worldwide, such as unprecedented rainfall in Brazil and severe drought in northern Ghana. The report also emphasizes the ongoing loss of glaciers globally, with all 58 monitored glaciers losing mass in 2024, and provides detailed analyses of essential climate variables, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the current climate system.
