00:00I bet you didn't know 2024 was the hottest and most polluting year on record.

00:05Global CO2 emissions soared to new heights. Let's break down what happened.

00:10First up, global energy-related CO2 emissions reached a record 40.8 billion tons,

00:15up 1% from last year. That's the fourth straight year of rising emissions.

00:20So what's driving this? Every single energy source grew in 2024, oil, coal, gas, even renewables.

00:27But fossil fuels still dominate, especially coal and natural gas.

00:32And with air travel booming again, oil demand got a big push from aviation.

00:36Now, renewables like wind and solar surged by 16%, way faster than energy demand overall.

00:43But here's the kicker. They're being added on top of fossil fuels, not replacing them.

00:48Extreme heat made things worse. 2024 was the hottest year ever, causing huge spikes in

00:54electricity use for cooling, mostly powered by coal in places like China and India.

00:59Clean tech prevented some emissions, but not enough. Bottom line, without a major shift,

01:04we're still building on fossil foundations and falling behind on climate goals.

01:08...
