London, United Kingdom | AFP – Average global temperatures exceeding a critical warming limit for the first time over the last two years “should alarm us all”, Britain’s Energy Security Minister Ed Miliband said on Friday.

“The climate crisis is here and now and getting worse,” Miliband added, after the Copernicus Climate Change Service announced that the two-year average for 2023 and 2024 was 1.5 degrees Celsius or more above the pre-industrial temperatures benchmark.

“Sticking our head in the sand would be a betrayal of future generations,” he said.
