    The only way 2024 stays the hottest year on record is if civilization breaks down this year and no one keeps the record anymore.

      Possibly not even then as we might already have caused a irreversible shift by melting the permafrost wich contained tons of Co2

      We would have to go full nuclear winter for a few years.

        No, I meant it will be the last year on record, cause no one is going to keep the weather stations running.

          Ah… Well that makes sense but tbh, most weather stations are satellites and autonomous stations that run mostly without interactions, so it would take a few years for the recordings to stop completely.
