1556: Uncertainty Complex
Climate Change, WMO Report and El Niño Predictions
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released a report stating there is a 66% chance that global temperatures will breach the 1.5°C warming threshold by 2027. The report attributes this to a combination of human-induced warming and a naturally occurring El Niño event. Critics argue the shifting probabilities and "uncertainty complex" are used to drive political agendas and funding.
