.ON FEBRUARY 8TH the Copernicus Temperature Adjustment Service, an EU company, revealed that in the twelve month to January 31st the planet's temperature had actually been, on average, 1.52 u00b0 C more than pre-industrial amounts. The Paris agreement, an environment negotiation of 2015, fully commited nations to maintain the increase in "worldwide average temp ... properly listed below 2 u00b0 C over pre-industrial degrees" as well as seek to restrict it to 1.5 u00b0 C. Can folks mention that the planet has outperformed one of the Paris turning points? If it has not, what will be needed to have to create such an insurance claim?
