Earth has recorded its first temperatures in excess of thresholds set in the Paris climate agreement. Here's how warm it was in 2024.

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

It's official: 2024 was the planet's warmest year on record, according to an analysis by scientists from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).

2024 was the first year to pass a milestone set by world leaders to try to keep the worst impacts of climate change at bay, scientists say.

"Once again, the temperature record has been shattered — 2024 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880."

Scientific agencies around the world confirmed that 2024 surpassed the global temperature record set in 2023 as carbon emissions contribute to extreme weather.

Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold, weather monitoring agencies announced Friday. It's the first time in recorded history that the planet was above a hoped-for limit to warming for an entire year,

Earth recorded its hottest year ever in 2024, with such a big jump that the planet temporarily passed a major climate threshold, weather monitoring agencies announced Friday.

Last year was the hottest ever recorded, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released Friday. In 2024, Earth overall saw its highest global

Since at least the early 19th century, Earth’s north magnetic pole has been situated in the Canadian Arctic and slowly moving north and east. But now, after a recent acceleration, it is closer to Siberia than to Canada, according to analyses by international groups of scientists.
