organisation says: there is a 66% chance that we will break the 1.5 degree temperature threshold for at least a year. there is a 98% chance of the warmest year on record before 2027. arctic heating will likely be three times higher than the global average. and the reason for these worrying predictions? temperatures being driven up by ongoing carbon emissions plus the likely onset of a naturally occurring el nino event which can trigger more extreme weather and climate events, including severe rainfall and drought, depending on the region. laurie goering is the climate change editor at the thomson reuters foundation. i asked her to explain the significance of these figures. i think the real message from this is that these climate change impacts are coming much faster than scientists had predicted. scientists are inherently conservative and what we are seeing is that a lot of different things from hate to sea level rise are probably going to happen a lot faster than we had
the house has now spoken and i think pretty loudly and clearly with everything republican voting in favour of moving into this official inquiry phase to do oversight. when a majority of the house goes on record in support of an official impeachment inquiry with the power that resides solely in the house of representatives, i think that sends a message. our reporter helena humphrey is on capitol hill, and i spoke with her earlier. good to see you, tell us more about the reactions to the vote today. the vote result was along party lines. so too was the reaction as well, as you might expect. the white house rather swiftly putting out a statement saying that this was baseless and nothing more than a political stunt. president biden accusing the republican party of essentially wasting time when there is still a lot of work to be done before lawmakers can leave congress for the holidays, not least when it comes to that question of finding any kind of consensus or way forward when i

and look at that, almost unbroken streak of daily air temperature records. 210 days set new daily global temperature records according to bbc analysis of the data from the eu organisation, copernicus. for more on what scientists are saying about the record hot year, i spoke to laurie goering, climate change editor at the thomson reuters foundation. thank you for being here. this is obviously a record people would prefer not to have been broken but here we are 2023 the hottest year on record, what many scientists are shocked by was not the record by how much this record really surpasses some of the other higher temperatures we have seen for previous years. that is the shocking thing about this temperature for 2023 normally these temperatures increases are really small, and hundreds of a degree or tenths of a degree at a bigley but the
