Analysis
In 2024, global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use in Antarctica stood at 0 °C. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
That represents a change of unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use in Antarctica peaked at 0 °C in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Antarctica 214th out of 214 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
