The Paris Climate Agreement stipulates that the increase in global average temperature should stop " Now, the WMO has said that the chances of temperatures rising by 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels between 2022 and 2026 are as good as not happening..

The WMO estimates the probability of this at 48% and notes that the chances of this scenario unfolding grow over time..

The organization also believes that there is a 93% chance that at least one year of the period 2022-2026 will be the hottest year on record and displace 2016 from the first line of this rating.. The probability that the average temperature for this period will be higher than for the previous five years is also estimated at 93%..

Recall that the data of the European system of satellites Copernicus showed that the last seven years were the hottest in the history of observations.. Last year, 2021, was the fifth hottest year on the list, with temperature records recorded in some regions..
