UPDATE: Despite a La Niña, February 2022 tied for the 5th warmest February since 1880, finishing at 0.9°C (1.6°F) above the 1951-1980 baseline. This continues a long-term upward trend since 1880 due to human activities, like burning fossil fuels: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ @NASAGISS

Recent @IPCC_CH report tells a sobering truth: Nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone now.
The facts are undeniable. We are living in a climate emergency, and we must take action to protect our planet. un.org/climateaction #IPCC @UN @antonioguterres

“The clear message from the science community is that we need to raise the ambition level for mitigation. So far we are not on track to meet the 1.5 °C to 2 °C target.” - @WMO SG Petteri Taalas for today’s opening.
