UN agency forecasts Earth will likely breach 1.5°C warming threshold in next five years.
The World Meteorological Organization projects a 75% chance that the average global temperature between 2026 and 2030 will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The report also forecasts accelerated Arctic warming and increased risk of drought in the Amazon. Scientists attribute the rising temperatures to the burning of coal, oil, and gas.
