Whether you use the HadCRUT5 or ERA5 data sets one thing is crystal clear we are very close to making 15.3°C (that is +1.5°C above the preindustrial average of 13.8°C) the new global average temperature.
There are horrors that await this shift.
Speaking of impacts at the current 15.03°C (+1.28°C above preindustrial) Prof Bob Watson said, referring to impacts at the poles: “I am very concerned. None of the observed changes so far (with a 1.2C temperature rise) are surprising. But they are more severe than we predicted 20 years ago, and more severe than the predictions of five years ago. We probably underestimated the consequences.”
With each incremental increase we move more and more of life on earth beyond adaptation limits.
We are in an emergency.
