SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The target of keeping long-term global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) is moving out of reach, climate experts say, with nations failing to set more ambitious goals despite months of record-breaking heat on land and sea.
"We've run out of time because change takes time," said Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick, a climatologist at Australia's University of New South Wales.
Global warming is the major factor, said Piers Forster, professor of climate physics at the University of Leeds, but El Nino, the decline in Saharan dust blowing over the ocean and the use of low-sulphur shipping fuels were also to blame.
"So in all, oceans are being hit by a quadruple whammy," he said. "It's a sign of things to come."
Climate experts say the extent and frequency of extreme weather is increasing, and this year has also seen punishing droughts across the world, as well as a rare and deadly cyclone in Africa.

Oh nooooeee… the point of no return. WE’RE ALL DOOMED.
If it is too late then we can stop with the solar, wind electric car stuff.
experts are worthless. experts should have to pay to espouse an opinion
I thought that AOC told us we had another 6.5 years left.
Again?
Same song and dance since the 1970s. Same solution. Give up liberty and accept a form of Totalitarianism.
Is Reuters still in business?
Haven’t we already reached the point of no return? At least a dozen times? We’re gonna get a lot more points of no return, until we reach the point of no return.
What? I thought the use of low-sulfer shipping fuel was supposed to stop globull warming? These "experts" must need more funding. But I guess it no longer matters because it's too late, right?
Meanwhile China/Asia are starting up 300 new coal power plants. The Global Climate Cult is silent about that.
Once again, it’s all about the models which have yet been able to apply to actual historical data.
When the tweed jacket circle jerk does point to data, it’s so cherry picked as to be laughable.
To wit, “average global surface air temperatures were more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels for several days,”
Why don’t they go all in and hockey stick the crap out of that data? Because they know it’s all crap.
Has any California Freeper been able to go without wearing a sweater lately?

Oh, for God’s sake! Just say we’ve passed the point of no return finally...this point of no return has supposedly been at our door for decades now...

I think if experts make claims that are false, they should be stripped of any accreditation, stripped of federal or state money and be publicly shunned.
Oh, noes! We’re done for now!
EPA officials told me that building a ocean access pier at normal height will last 60 years. There’s no climate change at the working level and I never heard it mentioned.
