That was the sentiment expressed by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres during fiery remarks... follow new data released today by the World Meteorological Organization and the European Commission's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
"Like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, we're having an outsize impact. In the case of climate, we are not the dinosaurs. We are the meteor," Guterres said... relief in sight.
Last month was officially the hottest May in history, marking 12 straight months of the hottest on record... potentially surpassing the world's ability to adapt.
There's now an 80 percent chance that at least one of the next five years will be more than 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than the preindustrial average, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)... in 2015, there was a near 0 percent chance of that happening.
