"One year in the next five will almost certainly be the hottest on record and
there’s a two-in-three chance a single year will cross the crucial 1.5℃ global
warming threshold, an alarming new report by the World Meteorological
Organization predicts.
The report, known as the
Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, warns if
humanity fails to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero, increasingly
worse heat records will tumble beyond this decade.
So what is driving the bleak outlook for the next five years? An expected El
Niño, on top of the overall global warming trend, will likely push the global
temperature to record levels.
Has the Paris Agreement already failed if the global average temperature
exceeds the 1.5℃ threshold in one of the next five years? No, but it will be a
stark warning of what’s in store if we don’t quickly reduce emissions to net
zero."
