Quick Glance: Earth Likely Exceeded Critical Warming Threshold Briefly
- New data suggests Earth likely exceeded a key warming threshold for the first time since instrument records began.
- The global average surface temperature was measured at over 2°C compared to preindustrial levels for the first time.
- Exceeding 2°C above preindustrial levels indicates how rapidly the planet is warming.
- Exceeding the 2-degree threshold for a single day does not mean the Paris Agreement's target has been exceeded.

Quick Glance: Wealth Gap: Top 1% Responsible for Majority of CO2 Emissions
- Report reveals: The richest 1% of the global population causes more CO2 emissions than the poorest 66%, with catastrophic effects on vulnerable communities and international efforts against the climate emergency.
- 77 million individuals, including billionaires, millionaires, and those earning over $140,000 per year, contribute to 16% of the 2019 CO2 emissions – enough to cause over a million heat-related deaths, according to the study.
- Investigation shows that the wealthiest 1% lead climate-controlled lives, but their 2019 emissions of 5.9 billion tonnes of CO2 cause immense suffering.
- Developing countries account for 91% of deaths from extreme weather events, according to the UN.
