The world is now likely to breach a key climate threshold for the first time within the next five years, according to the World Meteorological Organization, due to a combination of heat-trapping pollution and a looming El Niño.
Global temperatures have soared in recent years as the world continues to burn planet-warming fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. And that trend shows no sign of slowing. In its annual climate update, the WMO said that between 2023 and 2027, there is now a 66% chance that the planet’s temperature will climb above 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above pre-industrial levels for at least one year.
As temperatures surge, there is also a 98% likelihood that at least one of the next five years – and the five-year period as a whole – will be the warmest on record for the planet, the WMO reported.

世界氣象組織表示,由於溫室氣體排放和逼近的厄爾尼諾現象的結合,未來五年內世界很可能首次突破關鍵的氣候閾值。隨著全球持續燃燒如煤、油和天然氣等造成地球變暖的化石燃料,全球氣溫近年來急劇上升,而這種趨勢並未顯示減緩的跡象。在其年度氣候報告中,世界氣象組織指出,在2023年至2027年期間,地球溫度有66%的機率至少在一年內升高至工業化前水平上升1.5攝氏度以上。
隨著溫度激增,世界氣象組織報告指出,未來五年中至少有一年,以及整個五年期間,有98%的可能性成為有紀錄以來地球上溫度最高的年份。
