This should resolve NO. The NOAA ranked 2024 as the hottest year on record five days after this market's close date. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202413

This has not been affected by the delay in resolution, as 2025 didn't unseat 2024, instead coming in at third. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202513

However, if this market remains unresolved, eventually 2024 will become the second-hottest year on record.
