The chance of exceeding the 1.5 degree benchmark of limiting global warming stands at 70%, the UN’s weather agency says.

The chance that average warming from 2025 to 2029 is to exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) benchmark stands at 70%, the United Nations (UN) said.

As a result, the Earth is expected to remain at historic levels of warming.

This comes after the planet experienced the two hottest years ever recorded in 2023 and 2024, according to a report published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the UN’s climate agency.

    Obviously humane are not as self determined as we like to think. Maybe our paths are predetermined through our evolutionary development.

    Decision making motivated by emotions. Quick success, own advantage or the closest pressing issue is always more important than sustainability and the common good. Bad emotions are suppressed and messengers of bad news are chased out of the village.

    And then there are the ones who believe that all is lost and nothing can save us. Like me. Not helpful, I know.
