In 2024, Earth reached a record-breaking milestone, not one to celebrate, but one that underscores the severity of the ongoing climate crisis. The year brought unprecedented warmth, setting new records for the planet's temperatures. This rise in heat is akin to a teenager discovering viral trends on social media, with wildfires raging and the outdoors feeling like a constantly running microwave.

The planet is hotter than ever, and climate change is no longer a distant concern or something that can be put off for future generations to tackle. Instead, it has become a pressing emergency—one that requires immediate action. While there have been global protests and commitments from governments to address the crisis, the future remains uncertain. Whether humanity will finally take the necessary steps to combat climate change, or continue to ignore it, is still up in the air.
