  • The planet has seen its hottest year since records began 175 years age, experts say in a chilling warning. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) says climate change has now reached "new heights" with "irreversible consequences".

The article from MSN discusses the alarming trend of global temperatures, highlighting that 2023 was the hottest year on record since measurements began in the 19th century. This record-breaking heat is attributed to the ongoing effects of climate change, exacerbated by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The article mentions that this year's temperatures surpassed previous records by a significant margin, with scientists pointing to increased greenhouse gas emissions as the primary cause. It also touches on the consequences of such temperature rises, including more intense weather events, rising sea levels, and significant ecological disruptions. Experts are calling this a "wake-up call" for immediate global action to reduce carbon emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources to mitigate further climate change impacts.
