Earth Nearing 'Point of No Return' , As Critical Climate Threshold Is Reached Again.
On June 15, scientists confirmed that the world briefly
breached 1.5 degrees Celsius in June and issued warnings
about how rapidly the climate is reaching a critical point.
On June 15, scientists confirmed that the world briefly
breached 1.5 degrees Celsius in June and issued warnings
about how rapidly the climate is reaching a critical point.
'The Independent' reports that the European Earth
observation program, Copernicus, said that
the first 11 days of June were the hottest on record. .
Last month, the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold
was reached as a result of El Niño, and record
sea-surface temperatures were also reported.
According to Copernicus, it is the first time that
the critical limit laid out in the 2015 Paris Agreement was reached in the month of June. .
In December of 2015, the threshold
was also reached, and again in the winter
and spring months of 2016 and 2020.
These figures don’t just reflect
a few days of warm weather
in the U.K. or a small part of
the world, it reflects the average
temperature across the whole world, Hannah Cloke, hydrology professor from
the University of Reading, via 'The Independent'.
Hannah Cloke, a hydrology professor from the University of
Reading, warns that the threshold reached in June is a sign that , the Earth is reaching a "point of no return.".
Every fraction of a degree of warming
means significant impacts on people
and communities now and in the future, Hannah Cloke, hydrology professor from
the University of Reading, via 'The Independent'.
Each time we tip over 1.5 degrees
with increasing regularity, it is
a worrying sign that we are getting
closer to a point of no return, Hannah Cloke, hydrology professor from
the University of Reading, via 'The Independent'.
The high temperatures in June have
contributed to more powerful storms,
prolonged droughts and intensifying wildfires. .
