Deeply serious, and dangerous times. This continued rise in global temperatures will have drastic impacts on already marginalised and exploited communities, then the working class in the anglosphere. Linked content [1].

The web page titled "2024: Hottest year to date, and first year over 1.5ºC" discusses alarming climate trends as reported by the European Commission's Copernicus Climate Change Service. It highlights that 2024 is on track to become the warmest year recorded, with the global average temperature expected to exceed the Paris Agreement's target of limiting temperature rise to 1.5ºC. Notably, 16 of the last 17 months have surpassed this threshold, indicating a serious warning for climate stability. November 2024 recorded the second warmest November on record, with an average temperature of 14.10ºC, significantly higher than the average from 1991-2020. The global average temperature for the boreal autumn was also noted to be the second highest ever recorded. Furthermore, sea surface temperatures outside polar regions were at their second highest, while Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest extent for November. The document emphasizes the critical nature of these temperature anomalies and the ongoing trends of warming, particularly in the context of historical data. It calls attention to the urgent need for action to address climate change, given the consistent exceedance of temperature benchmarks established by international climate agreements.
