Last year was the world's joint fifth-warmest on record and the last nine years were the nine warmest since pre-industrial times, putting the 2015 Paris Agreement's goal to limit global warming to 1.5C in serious jeopardy, U.S. scientists have said. Last year tied with 2015 as the fifth-warmest year since record-keeping began in 1880, NASA said.

The world's average global temperature is now 1.1C to 1.2C higher than in pre-industrial times.
