Earth faces its warmest five years on record
The years 2023 to 2027 are the most likely to be the hottest five years on record, according to the United Nations. “There is a 98 percent probability that at least one of the next five years and the entire five-year period will be the warmest on record,” the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Wednesday. Global temperatures could therefore soon exceed the 1.5 degree target of the Paris climate agreement.
