Warming rate doubles, pushing 1.5°C breach toward 2028
Original: A recent doubling of global warming rate signals a 1.5°C breach by 2028
A new study in Nature Climate and Atmospheric Science finds that the rate of global warming has roughly doubled, suggesting the 1.5°C threshold above pre-industrial levels could be crossed as early as 2028. The finding points to an accelerating pace of warming beyond what many climate models anticipated, prompting debate among researchers and commentators about how quickly remaining carbon budgets are being exhausted and what mitigation steps might still matter.
Why now: The projection of a landmark climate threshold being breached within just a few years raises alarm about the speed of climate change.
