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).

OH NO!! WE”RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!
The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029
I thought that the polar ice caps were supposed to be gone by this time.
Researchers at ‘the Met Office.” Did you know that the Met Office reports data from about 300 weather stations all over the UK, and admits that 100 of them are nonexistent? That’s right, they fabricate numbers to “fill in the blanks” in their coverage, “estimates” they call them. Reported at WUWT. This is what “climate science” has become.
AMEN!!!!
Let’s hear it for warmer temperatures!!!!!
Longer growing seasons and lower heating bills. Less snow so shovel in the winter.
Won’t anyone think of the skinny polar bears stranded on melting ice floes?!

Vice President Al Gore’s Warning on Global Climate
Aug 11, 1998 hottest year ever recorded

So now they claim they can accurately measure the temperature of the entire Earth to the nearest tenth of a degree. I don’t know whether that’s arrogance or stupidity. Or just flat out lying.
It’s probably a combination of all three.
“Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!”
It is 66 degrees in Ga.
In late May.
Climate “experts” can go pound sand.
The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029
~~~
And I “could” win the powerball ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know one thing for sure. It’s gonna be hot this summer.
As I type this it’s 50 degrees and I just turned on the heat.
We could use a little of that global warming around here.
I'll go with flat out lying for a million dollars.
and monkeys could fly out of your ass.
Plants need CO2 to grow. Are they trying to starve them?
