According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the planet's surface is warming faster than predicted.

According to scientists, the temperature should have increased by 1-1.5 degrees between 2030 and 2052.

According to the updated data, it is believed that the temperature will rise ten years earlier, until 2040.

Based on this data, experts believe that extreme weather conditions, record heat waves, wildfires and floods are likely on Earth.

The material clarifies that the 1.5-degree mark is the point at which climate change becomes destructive.

Earlier, Alexey Kokorin, Director of the Climate and Energy Program of the World Wildlife Fund in Russia, told URA.RU that some Russian cities could eventually be flooded due to global warming.
