High Odds We’ll Exceed 1.5°C Temp Rise by 2029 : ScienceAlert

The latest report from the United Nations issued a dire warning regarding the future of global warming. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), there is a 70 percent chance that average temperatures from 2025 to 2029 will surpass the 1.5 degrees Celsius international benchmark. This prediction comes on the heels of record-breaking temperatures in 2023 and 2024, making it clear that the planet is on track to experience unprecedented levels of warming in the coming years.

The report, which was published by the WMO, highlighted the impact of continued warming on economies, ecosystems, and daily life. Ko Barrett, the WMO’s deputy secretary-general, emphasized the urgency of addressing climate change to mitigate its negative consequences.

The Paris climate accords, signed in 2015, aimed to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with a further goal of restricting it to 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, achieving the more ambitious target of 1.5 degrees Celsius is becoming increasingly challenging as carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise due to industrial activities.

The WMO’s projections for the next five years indicate that global temperatures are expected to increase by 1.2 to 1.9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. There is a high likelihood that the average temperature during this period will exceed the critical 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold, with experts predicting a 100 percent probability in the near future.

In the longer term, assessments of warming trends suggest that the current global temperature is already 1.44 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The European Union’s climate monitor, Copernicus, estimates that the 1.5 degrees Celsius mark could be reached as early as mid-2029.

The report also highlighted the possibility of global temperatures exceeding 2 degrees Celsius, a scenario previously deemed unlikely but now within the realm of possibility. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for immediate action to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources.

The consequences of continued warming are already being felt around the world, with extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and wildfires becoming more frequent and severe. Experts warn that every fraction of a degree of additional warming will exacerbate these disasters, posing a significant threat to ecosystems and human populations.

In light of these findings, scientists and climate experts are calling for urgent measures to curb fossil fuel emissions and accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources. Failure to take decisive action now could have catastrophic consequences for the planet and future generations.

As the world grapples with the impacts of climate change, it is essential to heed the warnings of the scientific community and prioritize sustainability in all aspects of life. The time to act is now to ensure a safer and more sustainable future for all.
