A new heat record could be set in the next five years, experts say


Meteorologists fear that there is a 40% chance that global temperatures will exceed the limits set by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in the next five years. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has said in a recent forecast for many years to come that the new record for the warmest year in the world by the end of 2025 is 90%. He also says that hurricanes in the Atlantic in the coming years could be more dangerous.

The report said that this year, temperatures in most parts of the northern hemisphere will be 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in recent decades, which is equivalent to almost 0.8 degrees Celsius.
According to the report, the drought in the southwestern parts of the United States will continue this year.

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change in 2015 set a target of keeping temperatures around a few tenths of a degree.

The report says there is a 40% chance that in the next five years there will be at least one year in which the temperature will be 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to pre-industrial global temperatures.  Be higher than the height.

Last year, a team of meteorologists predicted that temperatures would rise by about 20%.  Leon Hermanson, a scientist at the UK's Meteorological Department, says the doubling is due to the rapid growth in technology.
Michael Mann, a meteorologist at Pennsylvania State University, says it is almost certain that the planet will exceed the heat limit set by the Paris Agreement at least once in the next few years.

"Rising temperatures warn us that we need tougher measures," he said.


He also said that one or two years above global pre-industrial global temperatures of one and a half degrees Celsius would not make much difference as global temperatures are already rising significantly.  

He also said that the situation could continue for decades to come and that it could be overcome now.  However, concrete steps will have to be taken for this.
