2024 ist das erste Jahr, in dem die globale Erwärmungsgrenze von 1,5 °C überschritten wird

The European Copernicus climate service, one of the main global data providers, said on Friday 10 January that 2024 was the first calendar year to pass the symbolic threshold, as well as the world’s hottest on record.
