A new report by the World Meteorological Organization makes dire predictions for the next five years: Global temperatures rising to new record levels, continued ocean heating and acidification, sea ice loss and glacier melt, sea level rise, and more extreme weather.
The new Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, 2023-2027, released this week by the WMO said: There is a near certainty at least one year out of the next five will beat out 2016 as the new hottest year on record. There is equal certainty (98%) that the next five years, together, will also be the warmest five-year period on record.
According to the report, yearly average temperatures are expected to be from 1.1°C to 1.8°C above the pre-industrial average between 2023 and 2027. This includes a roughly 66% chance that one year out of the next five will exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
