The United Nations has warned that global temperature records will be broken, noting that the El Nino weather phenomenon is intensifying at an unprecedented rate. As this natural event, expected to be the strongest in a thousand years, combines with global warming, it is predicted that 2027 will be the hottest year in human history.
“Elchi” reports that the United Nations (UN) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have announced that the El Nino weather phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean is rapidly intensifying and moving toward its most severe level recorded in the last millennium.
This massive heat increase, which further amplifies the effects of global warming linked to fossil fuels, is expected to break global temperature records. Experts are confident that this combined effect will make 2027 the hottest year in recorded history.
A chain of global disasters is triggered
Rising temperatures associated with El Nino have already begun to cause devastating consequences around the world. The spread of massive forest fires in Indonesia and the weakening of vital monsoon rains in India are noted as early signs of the crisis.
In the coming period, fire risks are expected to increase in Australia, and severe flooding is expected in South America. The World Food Programme predicts that these extreme weather conditions will put approximately 50 million people at risk of acute hunger.
Emphasizing that the planet is entering a danger zone never experienced before, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that there is not a moment to lose and that the race to combat the climate crisis must be won at any cost.
