Scientists warn Earth could hit the 1.5°C climate limit sooner than expected
Global warming has significantly accelerated, with the past decade warming faster than any comparable period. Researchers removed natural climate fluctuations to reveal this underlying warming trend. Five major global temperature datasets confirm this acceleration with high statistical confidence. This observed increase suggests the world may approach key climate thresholds sooner. The long-term trend could cross the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit before this decade ends.
