Climate change led to 41 additional days of extreme heat in 2024: new report

The Hindu  

Due to climate change, the world experienced an average of 41 more days of extreme heat in 2024, a new report said on Friday. A yearly review report by two groups of climate scientists — World Weather Attribution and Climate Central — said the world saw an average of 41 more days of dangerous heat in 2024. "It is likely the total number of people killed in extreme weather events intensified by climate change this year is in the tens or hundreds of thousands," the report said. Fossil fuels — coal, oil, and gas — are the largest contributors to climate change, accounting for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
