The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) has confirmed that global temperatures have exceeded the critical limit of 1.5°C for the first time compared to pre-industrial times.. BBC reports this.

Copernicus director Cardo Buontempo says every month last year was the warmest or second-warmest on record.. He also added that the average temperature in the world exceeded by 1.6°C the levels of 1850-1900, and the last ten years have become the hottest in history.

The media writes that climate change has led to an increase in the frequency of catastrophic events, in particular forest fires. Although climate change has begun to affect life across the planet, it is now understood that political will in a number of countries on this issue has begun to wane.

According to climate scientists, last year was also marked by record levels of carbon dioxide, which amounted to more than 422 parts per million in the atmosphere.. The British Met Office believes temperatures could be extremely high again in 2025, but for now the rise is due to natural phenomena such as El Nino.

Journalists write that the consequences of warming may include more frequent and intense extreme weather conditions, in particular heat waves and heavy precipitation..

It is also expected that sea levels will rise and the likely death of many animal species.

Previously it was reported that the rate of boiling of the Earth is incredibly accelerating. Researchers find alarming evidence that the planet's rate of global warming is accelerating inexorably.

It also became known why the Earth's climate changes from drought to flood. In a new study, scientists have found out how global warming caused by human activity affects the amount of precipitation and its patterns..
