Global Warming Accelerates Since 2015: Study Warns 1.5°C Limit at Risk by 2030

• A new study reveals global warming has significantly accelerated since 2015, even after accounting for natural fluctuations like El Nino and volcanic eruptions.
• Researchers from Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found over 98% confidence in faster warming over the last decade.
• The analysis of five global temperature datasets, including NASA and NOAA, shows a statistically significant acceleration since 2015.
• If the current warming rate persists, the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement could be exceeded before 2030, highlighting insufficient efforts.
• Lead author Stefan Rahmstorf emphasizes that reducing CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero is crucial to slow future warming.
