Record Global Heat Forecasted

A new report from the United Nations warns that the Earth is overwhelmingly likely to shatter its hottest-year record repeatedly over the next five years.

Meteorologists cite a combination of the intensifying climate crisis and the expected influence of El Niño for the projected surge in global temperatures.

There is now a 75% probability that the annual average temperature will temporarily exceed the critical 1.5C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

Experts are calling for urgent action to reduce fossil fuel emissions to mitigate the increasing frequency of extreme heatwaves.
