The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has today released The State of 
the Climate 2024, the latest annual review by Professor Ole Humlum, Emeritus 
Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Oslo. 

Based on observational data rather than climate models, the report provides an 
evidence-based overview of global climate trends.

Key Findings:

2024 was the warmest year on record in all major temperature datasets, and was 
significantly influenced by a strong El Nino event that persisted through much 
of the year.

Recent warming remains uneven, with most temperature increases occurring in 
the Northern Hemisphere.

The upper 1900 m of the global ocean have warmed by a modest 0.037°C since 
2004, with most of this warming confined to the top 100 m near the equator.

Northern oceans (55-65°N) have cooled significantly down to 1400 m depth since 
2004, while southern oceans (55-65°S) have seen slight warming at most depths 
(down to 1900 m) but mainly near the surface.

Sea level rise continues at a rate of 1-2 mm per year according to tide-gauge 
records, well below satellite-based estimates of about 3.7 mm per year, and 
shows substantial local variation.

Global sea ice extent, though below the long-term satellite average, has been 
stable or slightly increasing since 2018.

Global snow cover remains essentially stable across the satellite era.

Global precipitation shows no long-term trend toward wetter or drier 
conditions since 1901.

Storm and hurricane activity continues to fluctuate naturally, without any 
long-term increase in strength or frequency.

Overall observations confirm normal overall variability of average 
meteorological and oceanographic conditions, with no sign of an escalating 
climate emergency.

Professor Humlum said:

"The global climate represents a highly complex system. Many com-ponents and 
their interrelationships are still not fully understood or perhaps not even 
recognized and are therefore not included in climate models.

"In fact, the global climate has remained in a stable condi-tion within 
certain limits for millions of years, although with important variations 
playing out over periods ranging from years to centuries, or more, but it has 
never been in a fully stable state without change.

"Modern observations show that recent years are also characterized by this 
normal behavior."
