Think It’s Hot Now? The Next Five Years Will Smash Records, UN Says
- The World Meteorological Organization and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office reported a 75% chance that average global temperatures between 2026 and 2030 will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius, the threshold set by the Paris climate agreement.
- If the next five years average more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, Earth will have warmed a quarter of a degree in a decade, a rate climate scientist Melissa Seabrook says is faster than previous warnings.
- Projected warming in the Arctic will rise 3.5 times faster than the rest of the globe, while dangerous droughts threaten the Amazon, a crucial part of Earth's natural defenses against climate change.
- U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell said every nation is already paying a huge price from the climate crisis, with extreme heat and floods showing that global efforts to contain heating remain insufficient.
- Forecasts call for a strong El Niño to form soon, potentially stretching into 2028, which alters weather worldwide and spikes global temperatures as scientists debate whether the warming rate is accelerating.
