This is what you expect to happen... with an average of 3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels,” said Richard Betts, professor of Geography at Exeter University.

We are seeing signs of what the normal conditions for the world will be with that temperature. This tells us what the future will look like. This actually illustrates what global warming does for us. ” he continued.

The rise in average temperatures in Australia was about 4 degrees Fahrenheit [1.4 ° C] above the industrial levels before the start of fires, indicating an increase more violent than average global warming, reports Guardian.

Scientists warn that beyond 2 degrees Fahrenheit [2 ° C], the impact in climate will become catastrophic and irreversible.

These are the impacts we're seeing with just 1 degrees Celsius [of heating] more,” ) warned Corinne Le Quere, professor at East England University. [ Footnote] UEA].

Global warming has led to the rising frequency and importance of fires worldwide. /Periscope
