‘Stark warning’ as global temperatures hit record levels for 13th month

Al Jazeera  

It has been 12 straight months that the world has been more than 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than pre-industrial levels. Global temperatures were at record high levels in June for a 13th consecutive month, according to data by the European climate service Copernicus, which is raising the alarm over the warming climate. June also marked the 12th straight month that the world was more than 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial era, Copernicus said in an announcement on Monday. Copernicus senior climate scientist Nicolas Julien said in an interview that it is “a stark warning” as it signals the globe is getting closer to the 1.5-degree limit most countries accepted as part of the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement to prevent catastrophic climate change. The European Union’s flagship Earth observation programme said June was also the 15th straight month that the world’s oceans, more than two-thirds of Earth’s surface, have broken heat records.
