There is an urgent need to reframe the 1.5 Celsius temperature limits as long-term global temperature measurements are "failing" to capture the increasing rate of warming, a new Report by the Climate Crisis Advisory Group (CCAG) has indicated.
The CCAG said the inaccuracy in temperature measurements masked the true extent and risk of increasing temperature rises that had devastating impacts around the world.
The Report recommended the widening of climate targets to include greenhouse gas atmospheric levels, which served as "real time" indicators of climate change.
It also called for greater accuracy in monitoring efforts to stay below the 1.5 Celsius target and set out a pathway for nations to mitigate and limit the catastrophic impacts of climate change.
