Scientists predicted a temperature record within 5 years: it will become 1.5 degrees hotter

And then hell can become the norm.
Over the next 5 years, global temperatures could increase by 1.5 degrees. Now it is growing at about 0.2℃ per decade. This is stated in the new report World Meteorological Organization.
The next five years will be the hottest on record, scientists warn. And the probability of a new record is estimated at 66%. And there is a 32 percent risk that similar heat on Earth will become the norm by the end of the decade.
This is not a new horror story, but meteorologists themselves are surprised at how quickly the climate has been changing lately. Of course, primarily due to the growth of greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities. They have already led to an increase in the average global temperature of more than 1 ℃ since the end of the 19th century.
In addition, scientists record fluctuations in El Niño, the average surface temperature of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. It is one of the key factors affecting the climate. Recently, the water in the upper layers has been heating up rapidly and conditions are being formed that were observed in 2016, when the last temperature record was set. In this scenario, it is not excluded that he will be beaten as early as 2024.
The way out of this situation is the same - reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Other options have not yet come up with, however, there are problems with this. Not all world leaders believe in global warming, so many are reluctant to join the Paris Agreement, the main goal of which is precisely to limit the temperature increase within 1.5 degrees.
