The chance of exceeding the 1.5 degree benchmark of limiting global warming stands at 70%, the UN’s weather agency says.
The chance that average warming from 2025 to 2029 is to exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) benchmark stands at 70%, the United Nations (UN) said.
As a result, the Earth is expected to remain at historic levels of warming.
This comes after the planet experienced the two hottest years ever recorded in 2023 and 2024, according to a report published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the UN’s climate agency.
In our case at least, climate change is the answer to the Fermi paradox. Human civilization will collapse in the near future and billions are going to die. Don’t have kids.
Yep. It’s a big part of why my partner and I opted not to have kids. Not only is not having kids one of the best ways to limit one’s own carbon footprint but I also am deeply worried about the quality of life for us and for all generations after us.
