I remember hearing this exact same fear mongering way back in the 70s.

The world could see its first year of warming above 2°C by the end of the decade, leading climate scientists have warned for the first time.
Each year, researchers at the Met Office – the UK’s national weather service – use observational climate data and modelling from institutions around the world to predict the global climate for the coming five years.
Their results suggest the average temperature in a single year could exceed 2°C above pre-industrial times by 2029, a result that would mark a significant and sobering milestone in the fight against climate change.
“That was effectively impossible a few years ago,” Adam Scaife at the Met Office told reporters during a briefing. Such an event would be “completely unprecedented”, he added.
The Paris Agreement of 2015 aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with an additional target of keeping warming at or below 1.5°C. Those aims would only be missed if that level of temperature rise is sustained over a couple of decades.
Last year was the first single year to record temperatures above the 1.5°C threshold, driven by rising emissions and a strong El Niño weather pattern. There is an 86 per cent chance that at least one of the next five years will breach the same threshold, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced for the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Wonder which Temperature Gauges they ignored this time to get the desired results.
Even Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t have these guys beat for false apocalypses.
Well, it is the first time they made a 5 year prediction.
Normally it is a 10, 12, 20 or 50 year prediction. Something time span will give the gullible time to forget.
Trump has them really worried.
The desperation is showing.
The want to enflame the wackos into a murderous rage.
They want someone to take another shot at Trump.
LMAO!!!
Gonna be a lot hotter than that eventually for the vast majority of liberals and their toadies here, and the vast majority of the world at large. But in the meantime, let’s get those giant mirrors installed in space to reflect the excess sunlight away from the earth. All the wealthy liberals who believe in global warming should be lining up to spend their money on it in order to “save the planet”, right?
That’s fine
I have an umbrella.
Heck NO!
Global Warming is about billionaires making money by getting the government spend money on silly projects, getting the government to make laws that cripple their competition or give them tax breaks to build inefficient and expensive power generators.
It is also about getting the government to fund phony research so witless pHDs can make a good living.
I thought the whole earth was supposed to be underwater by this time.
It has always puzzled me why people in Great Britain would be concerned about warmer temperatures.
It’s obviously a combination of the three.
Humans have short ancestral memories.
During the medieval warming period, Britain had a thriving wine industry.
So, will they finally shut up when the window closes?
The window never closes for some reason.
Heck No!
And give up their gravy train?!
They will be out there throwing baseballs at that window.
When was the last time you heard anyone reference The Hockey Stick Graph?
Of course they use the commie Metric System.

Another corrupt journal. “could”. Uh, if you are to continue to pretend to be scientists yah have to at least provide some odds.
Believing is not the issue. Every grant is oriented towards skimming. This entire scam is nothing more than a income stream to EVERYONE involved. They will not listen to any contrary info as their income depends upon this — like a tick on your leg.
Even if it was true(it ain’t), what do these bozos think we can do about it? We are not God. But these scientists think they are.
