Report: Planet Endured Warmest April on Record
The Facts
April 2024 was the hottest ever since records began to be kept in 1940. It was the 11th straight month of a record high, EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service has said.
According to data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service, last month was the hottest April since records began in 1940, marking 11 consecutive months of extraordinary global heat.
The Spin
Record-breaking heatwaves are a grave threat to our way of life. Climate change must be tackled urgently, and every action counts, especially eliminating fossil fuels. The Global North must especially aid the Global South in thethis urgent climate crisis response.
With all the doom and gloom around climate change, the "average global temperature" concept lacks scientific basis and varies seasonally. Characterizing Earth's warming with a single average number is impractical, especially with current measurement uncertainties and historical data gaps.
