Last year has tied 2016 as the hottest year on record, the European Union’s climate monitoring service said yesterday, keeping Earth on a global warming fast track that could devastate large swathes of humanity.
The six years since 2015 are the six warmest ever registered, as are 20 of the last 21, evidence of a persistent and deepening trend, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported.
Last year’s record high a soaring 1.25°C above preindustrial levels was all the more alarming because it came without the help of a periodic natural weather event known as El Nino, which added up to two-tenths of a degree to the 2016 average, according to data from NASA and the UK Met Office.

Meat Atlas: It s time to rethink what we eat
Meat has become cheap to buy in the supermarket. But that comes at a cost to the environment and human health.
Germany is a leading EU pork producer Industrial meat production is not only responsible for precarious working conditions, it also pushes people off their land, leads to deforestation, biodiversity loss and the use of pesticides and is also one of the main drivers of the climate crisis.
Such were the words of Barbara Unmüssig of green think tank, the Heinrich Böll Foundation, at the Berlin presentation of the so-called Meat Atlas 2021.
