Climate Change: 1.5-Degree Mark is Being Broken Again

The Copernicus Climate Service reports that 2026 is likely to be the second warmest year on record, surpassing the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold again. October 2026 was the hottest October ever recorded globally, with temperatures 1.75 degrees above pre-industrial levels. The UN acknowledges that the 1.5-degree target will be exceeded, leading to severe climate extremes. Experts warn that the ongoing rise in temperatures poses significant risks, urging immediate action to reduce CO2 levels to avoid an uncontrollable future.
