How did the increase in CO2 concentrations and ocean warming contribute to the extreme weather events experienced in 2024?

The record-breaking temperatures are linked to increased concentrations of CO2, reaching the highest level in 2 million years, primarily from burning fossil fuels. This warming trend also led to the highest ocean warming in 65 years, impacting marine ecosystems and increasing the risk of extreme weather events.
