"World Endures 12 Months of Record Heat Amid Climate Warnings"
TL;DR
The past 12 months have been the warmest on record, with global temperatures averaging 1.63°C above pre-industrial levels. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns of a "highway to climate hell" and urges a 30% cut in fossil fuel production by 2030 to avoid surpassing the critical 1.5°C warming threshold. Despite global agreements, CO2 emissions hit a record high last year, and scientists predict even warmer years ahead. Guterres calls for banning fossil fuel advertising and emphasizes the urgent need for more aggressive climate action.
