NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

Few people know this: half of the world's energy use is for heat used in buildings and industry. And almost all of it is from burning fossil fuels. That's why we need to decarbonise heat if we want to stand a chance of meeting our climate targets.

The fossil fuel giants behind an "end plastic waste" scheme produced 1,000 times more plastic waste than their scheme removed, a report from Unearthed shows. The fossil fuel industry is on course to treble the amount of plastics being produced.

Fakt ist: Das Klima nicht zu schützen ist um ein Vielfaches teurer als konsequenter #Klimaschutz. Dass sich der Umbau hin zur Klimaneutralität lohnt, weiß mittlerweile auch die Wirtschaft. Jeder jetzt in Klimaschutz investierte Euro zahlt sich künftig vielfach aus. Darum geht's auf der #COP29
Auf dunkelgrünem Hintergrund sind zwei stilisierte grüngelbe Sprechblasen zu erkennen. Über ihnen steht in heller Schrift: „To be discussed:“. In der ersten Sprechblase steht: „Klimaschutz schwächt unsere Wirtschaft.“, in der zweiten: „Nein, im Gegenteil!“. Darunter steht in heller Schrift: „Darum ist die Weltklimakonferenz eine große Chance für unsere Wirtschaft“.
