Please note that the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement applies to a long-term average of at least 20 years. The app shows an estimated start date of a time span over which the global mean temperature may reach 1.5°C.
climate.copernicus.euWhy do we keep talking about 1.5°C and 2°C above the pre-industrial era? | CopernicusThe thresholds of 1.5°C and 2°C above the pre-industrial average global temperature have been temporarily exceeded several times in recent months. For the first time in the ERA5 dataset, the global surface temperature reached or exceeded 1.5 °C above the 1850-1900 average, for 12 consecutive months. These facts, communicated by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) based on data from its flagship ERA5 reanalysis dataset, very naturally raise questions about why this matters, and the methodology used to calculate these exceedances. Read on for an overview of the basics about these thresholds.
