World Set to Cross Feared 1.5C Warming Threshold Within a Year
Original: You Know That Terrifying Global Warning Threshold They've Been Worried About for a Decade? Climate Change Is Speeding Up So Much That Now We're Due to Cross It In Just Over a Year
Climate researchers warn that accelerating global warming means the planet is on track to pass the 1.5C threshold above pre-industrial temperatures — the limit world leaders have warned about for a decade — in little more than a year. Commentators say the pace of heating has outstripped earlier forecasts, intensifying pressure on governments to cut emissions faster ahead of upcoming climate negotiations.
Why now: New projections suggest the internationally agreed 1.5C warming limit will be breached far sooner than expected.
