Record-high emissions of greenhouse gas from fossil-fired power plants, cars and boilers mean that our planet is heating faster than at any time in at least the last half a billion years.

This blistering temperature rise appeared to accelerate further in 2023 and 2024 .

The Earth system is working hard to absorb these emissions and balance out their effects.

The countries that got rich carbonizing the atmosphere must compensate the countries that were impoverished, says Lisa Vanhala , a professor of political science at UCL .

"Tackling climate change effectively requires a shift to a more equal society, where happiness is prioritized over consumption," say Sam Hampton and Lorraine Whitmarsh .
