UN: 70% Chance Warming Will Exceed 1.5°C by 2029

UN: 70% Chance Warming Will Exceed 1.5°C by 2029

The UN says the world will likely keep getting hotter over the next five years.

There's a high chance that temperatures will rise more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above what they were long ago.

This means more extreme weather, like heatwaves and changes in rainfall, will become more common.

The Arctic will continue to warm up faster than the rest of the world, which can lead to bigger problems.

It is a serious issue because even small temperature increases can make bad weather events, like floods and heatwaves, even worse.
