Dr @RobinLamboll said: "Quite how much temperatures and CO2 concentrations went up by was surprising [...] working out how much was a temporary and how much systematic make it hard to use this single year to see how close we are to exceeding 1.5C in the long term."

Prof. @JoeriRogelj said: "The messaging around CO2 trends now exceeding 1.5°C scenarios is a sensationalist stretch & scientifically nothing new. Even if we are on track to surpass 1.5°C [this] only makes a stronger case for focused action."

💬Countries have agreed to the 1.5°C global warming limit not out of convenience but out of necessity to limit harm and suffering of people. Read Prof. @JoeriRogelj and Dr @RobinLamboll's comments in response to @metoffice's latest warning regarding rising CO2 levels 🧵
