Global warming 'likely' to breach 1.5°C threshold within 5 years: UN

There's a 66 per cent chance Earth will break the crucial 1.5°C increase in global temperatures within five years, according to the World Meteorological Organization of the United Nations.

The 2015 Paris climate agreement set 1.5°C as an international threshold. While that may not seem like a lot, scientists say such a spike will prompt the worst impact of climate change.

Jackson Proskow explains the likely consequences.

As the politicians buy ocean front property 🥴

None of you have a clue what's going on it is the funniest thing I have ever been witness to

Just like the acid rain nonsense in 80s

[RH-kmdu]

What a fatalistic approach that was. Must be greasing everyone up for another carbon tax increase

When i was in a university class in 2012 they said in 100 years, the world will rise 1 degrees celcius....how did it suddenly become 5 years now lol

If they really cared about climate, they would note that according to NASA, the Earth is 15% greener in the last 25 years because of the CO2 rise

Since you can tell what the future is, can you give me the next Lotto Max numbers? You can't even tell the exact weather for tomorrow not alone 5 years. Nothing but a bunch of clowns that thinks they're professionals in what they do.

Ok so the world has never heated up before?

[ianmclaughlin]

Nuclear warming will be faster and on the bonus give us a nice cool winter, eliminate all further debates and reduce production, how green is that?

[mrimc]

Does this mean no more flying to Davos?

[georgedavidson]

There is numerous good PHd climate scientists that can give you a good overview
Start with Dr Judith Curry.

[geraldcroft]

Well, they just move the end of the world out another five years

[georgedavidson]

Have you ever looked at the real temperatures going back to the dirty 30 ‘s. This is nothing
Tony. Heller has all the statistics and a play list on his channel

[mikeyrichard]

We must tax everyone to fix the weather

[yepyep]

Coldest winter we had last year in the longest of times. But hey, now that summer is here and it’s hot, let’s establish some brain washing said the news media.

Just an FYI - CO2 levels were at least five times higher in the Jurassic Age of the Earth.

The weather is cyclical.

[bowbender]

Look at the bright side. Atleast the earth isnt headed toward another ice age 😊

Spring fund raising drive for the UNnessesary.

Person claiming to have two college science degrees: Each decade since the 1970s has not been warmer.

Cannot make this up.
