now analysts from the uk's met office say there's a risk global temperatures could, temporarily, exceedegrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. even if it happens briefly, it's likely to mean unprecedented extremes of weather — sea level rise, flooding, storms, drought, heatwaves, wildfires. our science correspondent rebecca morelle reports. from the devastating flooding that's inundating australia, forcing thousands from their homes, to the deadly forest fires that raged across the united states last year, and the record—breaking temperatures seen here and across europe over the summer, it's been a year of extremes, and now scientists warn there could be more to come. the long—term climate projections say... at the met office, researchers have been tracking global temperatures, and their new forecast suggests we could be in the middle of the warmest decade since records began. this is worrying because this is a new level of temperature extreme, and the regional impacts of that are likely to be unprecedented in some regions. so we are likely to see things that we have not seen in ove

what is significant from the uk met office? doing is predictions setting up models with everything going on right now and are running it forward to see how the greenhouse gas forcing an perhaps some of the internal variability is going to work out. even without that complicated procedure, we can predict that the trends we have seen over the last a0 yea rs trends we have seen over the last a0 years will continue and, when we get the next el nino event, which is a phenomena in the pacific that tends to bring warmer climate than on average, we will see high records being broken. 2016 was the warmest year, and el nino event and the next el nino will have a record set. we are in uncharted territory and we are in uncharted territory and we are pushing the system out of the zonein are pushing the system out of the zone in which all of human civilisation has existed and that means the assumptions that we are made about the stability of the climate become boruc and more problematic —— morant more. the things that we see in the future wi
