The United Nations’ weather agency reports that world temperatures are likely to reach dangerous levels within the next five years. The World Meteorological Organization, or WMO, released a report on the subject Wednesday. It said the 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in temperatures might be temporary. But, the agency noted, such a rise would break the limit sought by the 2015 Paris climate agreement. In 2018, scientists said a temperature increase past 1.5 degrees Celsius would result in death, damage and destruction to the world’s ecosystems. After the 2015 Paris meeting, most nations agreed to try to limit the burning of coal, oil and gas to prevent a temperature increase. The new WMO report says the use of those fuels, combined with the weather condition called El Nino, will push temperatures to a dangerous level.
