New research reveals that If we continue on our current trajectory and reach global warming of 2.7°C, approximately 2 billion people, or 22% of the projected population by the end of the century, will face dangerously hot conditions.

Flash droughts, which intensify in a matter of weeks, have become more frequent since the late 1950s in 74% of the 33 regions of the planet and are expected to accelerate in an increasingly warm world, warns a study published by Science.

In a report by the journal Lancet Countdown, the consequences of high temperatures in South America were analyzed for the first time. One of the findings was the 35% increase in dengue during 2012-2021, compared to 1951-1960.

All the alarms have gone off before what can happen this year with the world climate. The more than likely arrival of an El Niño episode can raise temperatures across the planet in ways never seen before.

The return of the El Niño phenomenon this year would cause an increase in global temperatures "out of the normal" and unprecedented heat waves, warn a group of scientists.

A global shift to an El Niño weather pattern later this year could pave the way for the world to exceed 1.5C of warming for the first time in 2024, according to the UK Met Office.

2022 was a year of climatic extremes, such as droughts or floods, record temperatures and concentrations of greenhouse gases, according to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)

2022 was confirmed as the hottest ever recorded in the United Kingdom, with the average annual temperature breaking the ten-degree barrier for the first time. 

The signs of climate change continue. This week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States (NOAA) published a statement warning that October 2022 was the fourth warmest October on record, that is, 143 years ago.

This is one more study that supports the thesis that the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, introduced in the Paris Agreement in 2015, is unattainable.
