For the first time on record, global temperatures have surpassed the critical 1.5C warming threshold over a 12-month period, according to the European Union's climate change service. This breach of the Paris Agreement's target threshold represents a significant moment in the ongoing climate crisis, with scientists warning of potential catastrophic impacts on civilization. Data from Copernicus indicates that the world's climate has reached 1.5ºC hotter than pre-industrial levels over the past year, emphasizing the urgency for rapid and radical action to combat climate breakdown. The situation underlines the scale of global heating and its impact on human rights, as well as the need for a robust green industrial strategy.
☹️ "The average global temperature was more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average for 12 consecutive months from February 2023, says European Union’s climate-monitoring service."
Data from Copernicus today shows the world’s climate is 1.5ºC hotter than pre-industrial levels over a 12-month period for the first time, temporarily breaching the target set at the 2015 Paris Agreement and underlining the scale of global heating and its impact on human rights.
Earth has endured 12 months of temperatures 1.5C hotter than the pre-industrial era for the first time on record, Europe's climate monitor said Thursday, in what scientists called a "warning to humanity". https://t.co/nvxy8N0mmD
“For the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year, according to the EU's climate service.” https://t.co/EfzxdHVhJv
Global warming has exceeded 1.5° for a 1-year period for the first time on record. As the Tories continue with their bonfire of green policies, we will need rapid and radical action to combat climate breakdown. Now is not the time to scale back our green industrial strategy.
