Temperatures 1.5C above pre-industrial era average for 12 months, data shows
Environment
The world has experienced temperatures 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for 12 consecutive months, according to new data. This sustained rise in temperatures increases the risk of catastrophic climate tipping points and exposes more people to extreme weather events. Scientists warn that this is not a statistical oddity but a 'large and continuing shift' in the climate, and that further warming is inevitable unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced.
