For the first time on record, the Earth has experienced a 12-month period with global temperatures averaging 1.5°C higher than pre-industrial levels, according to data from Copernicus. This significant climate milestone, which scientists have long warned about, represents a breach of the critical threshold set in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Europe's climate monitor confirmed this data, emphasizing the event as a stark warning to humanity about the escalating pace of global warming. The data also highlights the potential impacts on human rights, as acknowledged by Amnesty International. While some experts suggest that the temperature may drop below this threshold within the year, the long-term trend indicates continued planetary warming. Additionally, the DailyMail reported that Earth surpassed the 'doomed' 2.7F global warming limit for the first time in 2023.

We just completed the first 12-month period during which the global temperature exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial. Odds favor coming down below this mark this year, but we're going to warm the planet more for sure. Hopefully, not too much more. https://t.co/CS59DHVJFl

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.
