record setting heatwave fit in with the science that was released in this report back in march? thanks for having me. it was released in march of this year. essentially it was a report card, the fact that we are way off track from limiting warming to 1.5 degrees which was the global target that was set in the paris agreement, and essentially what it said was that we are now experiencing 1.1 degrees above preindustrial temperatures and with that level of warming we are already including extreme weather events which we are seeing play at on our television screens and experiencing daily today. and so i think one of the main findings was that the models have done a good job tracking warming over time, but what is surprising is in fact the impacts are happening much faster and at a higher magnitude than was originally predicted, and so events like extreme weather events are occurring at lower global warming levels than originally assessed back when the last ipcc report assessment
extreme weather events are occurring at lower global warming levels than originally assessed. the last ipcc report assessment came out in 2014. so these temperatures we are seeing right now, they are even more extreme than scientists were anticipating? were anticipating? yes, they are happening were anticipating? yes, they are happening faster - were anticipating? yes, they are happening faster and - were anticipating? yes, they are happening faster and at l are happening faster and at higher magnitudes than originally assessed. wow. we have been originally assessed. wow. we have been talking originally assessed. wow. we have been talking about - originally assessed. wow. we have been talking about the l have been talking about the record temperatures and how they affect humans. what about they affect humans. what about the effect on wildlife? how concerned are the world wildlife fund at the effects on animals around the globe? it’s animals around the globe? it s affectin: ani
