The world is on track for several more years of record-breaking heat, top weather agencies warned this week.
The World Meteorological Organization and the UK Met Office predict there’s an 80% chance of setting a new global temperature record by 2029.
The agencies say Earth may soon exceed the critical 1.5°C warming limit set in the Paris Agreement.
Scientists warn the rise will trigger deadlier heatwaves, stronger storms, floods and wildfires.
Climate experts urge immediate action to protect lives, as each small rise in temperature increases the risk of extreme weather, droughts and rising seas.
The heat could soon become the new normal.
