00:00Average global temperatures are expected to remain close to record highs during the next five years,
00:06according to a new report from the UN Weather Agency and the UK Med Office.
00:11The report warns that temperatures in the Arctic are projected to rise much faster
00:16than in other parts of the world over the same period.
00:22UK Med Office Research Scientist Melissa Seabrook said scientific evidence continued to show
00:27clear signs of global warming and steadily rising average temperatures.
00:32Annual global near-surface temperatures are forecast to remain between 1.3 and 1.9 degrees Celsius
00:37above levels recorded between 1850 and 1900s.
00:42The report also predicted that at least one year within the next five years would surpass 2024
00:46as the warmest year ever recorded, when they surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial era for the
00:54first time.
00:54Scientists projected that Arctic winter temperatures would rise more than three and a half times faster
01:00than the global average during that period.
01:03Researchers warn that climate events become increasingly severe and more destructive
01:08once global temperatures rise beyond critical thresholds.
