China just experienced its hottest year ever recorded, with 2024 temperatures hitting a historic high since national weather tracking began in 1961. The National Climate Center reported an average of 10.9°C—nearly 1°C above normal and beating 2023’s previous record of 10.71°C. 🌡️
While heatwaves trend globally, this data adds fuel to climate conversations as young activists and policymakers push for greener solutions. 🔄 Experts warn such patterns could intensify extreme weather events, from droughts to intensified monsoons, affecting everything from agriculture to city life.
\"This isn’t just a number—it’s a wake-up call,\" says climate researcher Li Wei, urging faster adoption of renewable energy. As Gen Z rallies for #ClimateAction, China’s record heat underscores the urgency for global cooperation. 🤝💡
