The world can experience the hottest year ever recorded, as global temperatures continue to rise as a result of climate change and El Niño phenomena.
According to research scientists Berkeley Earth, there is a 95% chance that 2026 will break the previous record of 2024.
Concern has increased after a series of extreme climate events, including heat waves, massive fires in Europe, droughts and disasters related to melting glaciers.
Meanwhile, the World Meteorological Organization warns that high temperatures can continue during 2027 because of a powerful El Niño phenomenon.
Scientists point out that the main cause of global warming remains to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of fossil fuels.
Warnings come at a time when world leaders and climate negotiators are holding COP31 meetings in Turkey’s Antalya, where reductions of emissions are the focus and the adaptation of states to increasingly extreme climate conditions.
Experts warn that climate change is no longer just a threat to the future, but a reality that is directly affecting people’s life, economy, and security worldwide.
