“The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said there was a 40% chance of the watershed global warming mark being met during the time frame, and these odds are increasing with time.”
The Paris target was supposed to be a ceiling for the end of the century. The WMO now gives 40 percent odds of touching it in a single year before 2026. A record hot year by 2025 is a 90 percent bet. Governments still talk about 1.5 degrees as if it is ahead of us.
