Humans are as dangerous to the planet as the meteorite that drove dinosaurs to extinction, the UN chief said Wednesday, as scientists announced the last 12 months were the hottest on record.

Last month was the hottest May on record and the 12th consecutive month to break such a record, the EU climate monitor Copernicus announced Wednesday. Although El Nino is dissipating, the World Meteorological Organization announced Wednesday there is now an 80 percent chance global temperatures will at least temporarily exceed 1.5C during the next five years.

“Global emissions need to fall nine per cent every year to 2030 to keep the 1.5 degree limit alive,“ Guterres said. “I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies,“ he said, likening it to bans on other products harmful to human health like tobacco. “Even if emissions hit zero tomorrow, a recent study found that climate chaos will still cost at least $38 trillion a year by 2050,“ he said.
