Global temperature record could be broken as soon as 2027, with El Niño expected later this year

A record-breaking hot year is almost certain by 2030 as the climate crisis intensifies, the UN’s World Meteorological Organization has warned.

With an El Niño event expected later this year, the global temperature record could fall as soon as 2027.

Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are continuing to rise, trapping more heat and driving more extreme weather, including the record-breaking heatwave that has hit the UK and Europe this week.

Global heating is already estimated to be taking one life every minute, with the toll likely to rise unless emissions fall rapidly.

    You obviously didn’t look at the link I provided, and no the declining percentage will eventually make it slow down. Zero percent is obviously zero, and no it’s not strange to bring that in, because it’s math.

      I’m sorry I didn’t comment on your unrelated source. I think we agree that the population is continuing to grow until 2100, as the UN projected.
