Global temperature is likely to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial level temporarily in next 5 years.
Environment
There is an 80 percent likelihood that the annual average global temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This is a stark warning that we are getting ever closer to the goals set in the Paris Agreement on climate change, which refers to long-term temperature increases over decades, not over one to five years.
Short-term (annual) warming does not equate to a permanent breach of the lower 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal.
Likely that at least one of next five years will be the warmest on record, beating 2023.
