The United Nations warned Thursday that in the next five years, global average temperatures could reach record levels.
According to a new World Meteorological Organization report, average annual temperatures over the years 2026-2030 could range from 1.3 C to 1.9 degrees Celsius above the 1850-1900 average.
What else does the report say?
The report stated that there was a 75% chance that global average temperatures will surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1850–1900 average.
The threshold is the agreed-upon long-term warming limit set in 2015 by the Paris climate agreement.
