Hey there! 🌞 Did you know that 2024 has become the hottest year ever recorded? That’s right! According to the United Nations, our planet’s average temperature was 1.55 degrees Celsius higher than it was before people started using machines in factories a long time ago (that’s called the pre-industrial levels).
So, what does that mean? Well, think of Earth like it’s got a fever. 😓 When you have a fever, you might feel hot and uncomfortable. Our planet is feeling that way too! This extra heat is causing things like melting ice at the North and South Poles, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires.
But don’t worry, there’s still hope! UN chief Antonio Guterres said that these “blazing temperatures in 2024 require trail-blazing climate action in 2025.” That means we all need to come together to help cool down our planet.
You can make a big difference by doing simple things like recycling, saving electricity, planting trees, and telling others about how important it is to take care of our Earth. 🌱🌳 Let’s work together to make our planet a happier and cooler place to live!
