“Global Temperatures Expected to Reach Record High in Next 5 Years, Warns World Meteorological Organization”

The World Meteorological Organization estimates that in the next 5 years (by 2027), the world will be warming by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial times. and will be hot at that level for at least 1 year

with a 98% chance that within the next 5 years It will be the hottest time on record for the world.

The latest data from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) indicates that global temperatures are set to hit a record high over the next five years, driven by heat-trapping greenhouse gases and a naturally occurring El Niño phenomenon.

It is 66% likely that global average near-surface temperatures between 2023 and 2027 will be more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one year. There’s a 98% chance that at least one of these will happen in the next five years. The world will have the highest temperature on record.

“This report does not mean that we will permanently exceed the 1.5°C level set out in the Paris Agreement. This means long-term warming for many years. However, the WMO is warning that we will temporarily break the 1.5°C temperature rise record with increasing frequency.” Professor Pettery Thalas (Petteri Taalas), WMO Secretary-General said.

“A warming El Nino phenomenon is expected in the coming months. Combined with anthropogenic climate change pushing global temperatures into unknown territory,” he said, “this will have far-reaching implications for health. food security, water management and the environment We must be prepared,” Prof Thalas said.

There is only a 32% chance that the five-year average will exceed the 1.5°C threshold, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update conducted by the UK’s Met Office. which is the WMO’s leading center for such forecasts.

Dr. Leon Hermanson The Met Office expert scientist who led the report said: “Global average temperatures are expected to continue to increase. It takes us farther and farther away from the climate we are accustomed to.”

In addition to rising global temperatures Man-made greenhouse gases are also making the oceans warmer and more acidic. Sea ice and melting glaciers sea ​​level rise and more severe weather conditions

The Paris Agreement set long-term goals to guide all countries to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit this century’s global temperature rise to 2°C while trying to limit further increases to 1.5°C. °C to avoid or reduce Negative Consequences and Related Losses and Damages

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that climate-related risks for natural and human systems are higher for global warming of 1.5 °C than they are currently. but below 2 °C

The new report, released ahead of the World Meteorological Congress (May 22 – June 2, 2023), discusses ways to strengthen climate and climate to support climate change adaptation. Key themes for discussion at the meeting include the ongoing Early Warning Initiative. to protect people from more extreme weather conditions and a new greenhouse gas monitoring infrastructure to inform climate mitigation.
