.ON FEBRUARY 8TH the Copernicus Climate Improvement Company, an EU firm, announced that in the one year to January 31st the globe's temp had been actually, on average, 1.52 u00b0 C higher than pre-industrial degrees. The Paris agreement, a climate negotiation of 2015, dedicated countries to always keep the rise in "worldwide standard temperature ... well below 2 u00b0 C over pre-industrial amounts" and seek to confine it to 1.5 u00b0 C. Can folks mention that the world has exceeded some of the Paris turning points? If it has not, what would certainly be actually required to create such an insurance claim?
