Some quotes from:
The 2024 State of the Climate Report

"Fossil fuel consumption rose by 1.5% in 2023 relative to 2022, mostly because of substantial increases in coal consumption (1.6%) and oil consumption (2.5%)."

"Annual energy-related emissions increased 2.1% in 2023, and are now above 40 gigatons of carbon-dioxide-equivalent for the first time."

"Carbon dioxide levels were recently observed to be surging. Furthermore, the growth rate of methane emissions has been accelerating, which is very troubling."

Some quotes from:
The 2024 State of the Climate Report

"Increasing heat and rainfall extremes are now far outside the historical climate."

"As of 2024, extraordinarily warm ocean temperatures are driving the fourth global-scale coral bleaching event ever recorded"

"With the increasingly undeniable effects of climate change, a dire assessment is an honest assessment."

"Because feedback loops are not yet fully integrated into climate models, current emissions reduction plans might fall short in adequately limiting future warming."

"Five of sixteen climate tipping elements are likely to cross their tipping points at 1.5°"

Some quotes from:
The 2024 State of the Climate Report

"As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse."

"By the end of the century, roughly one-third of people worldwide could be outside the human climate niche, facing increased risk of illness and early death, famine, and a host of other adverse outcomes."

"...the world has made only very minor headway on climate change, in part because of stiff resistance from those benefiting financially from the current fossil-fuel based system. We are currently going in the wrong direction, and our increasing fossil fuel consumption and rising greenhouse gas emissions are driving us toward a climate catastrophe."

"The future of humanity hangs in the balance."
