“The average global temperature has risen by about 1.1°C since the pre-industrial era and ocean heat content is at a record level,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
At the current trend of CO2 emission rate, we are headed towards between a 3 to 5 degree increase in temperature by the end of the century.
2019, as reported by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) was 1.1°C warmer than the pre industrial era.
Only 2016 was hotter, due to a very strong El Niño which causes warming, combined with long-term climate change.
