Last month marked the first-ever 12-month stretch where Earth's average temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, indicating a significant climate shift.
Continued global heating is inevitable unless greenhouse gas emissions are halted, leading to further temperature records being broken.
Although the exact point at which 1.5 degrees Celsius was crossed may be exciting, it's not deemed significant in terms of climate implications due to baseline temperature uncertainty.
The 1850-1900 period is a reference point to track human impact on climate, showing the increase in temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions.
