UN predicts limit-smashing global warming in the next five years

A new report from the United Nations weather agency gives a three-out-of-four chance that the next five years will average more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. That's the international safety limit set in 2015. There’s an even higher chance — 86% — that one of the next five years will smash the global heat record set in 2024 and next year looks like a leading contender. So expect more extreme weather. The next five winters in the Arctic are predicted to be nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the last five years. Meteorologists also forecast an Amazon drought that may spark wildfires.

Scientists Rush to Save One of the World’s Rarest Trees as It Literally Falls Off a Cliff

An evaluation of the heat tolerance of soil microbes from croplands, forests, grasslands, and wetlands found that the cropland soil microbes functioned best at temperatures of 25 deg. C. Inoculating other soil types with cropland soil microbes improved their functioning under heat stress.
