2024: Hottest Year on Record Exceeds Climate Model Predictions
2024 is the hottest year on record, exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures; this surpasses climate model predictions, largely due to human-caused climate change exacerbated by reduced sulfate pollution from shipping and China.

"AI Predicts Accelerated European Warming, Jeopardizing Paris Agreement Goals"
"AI-driven climate analysis projects a minimum 3-degree Celsius temperature increase in Europe by 2060, exceeding global warming averages and potentially rendering the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree limit unattainable, even with rapid emission reductions."

Ocean Cloud Decrease Amplified 2023's Record-Breaking Temperatures
A new study in Science attributes the unexpectedly high temperatures of last year partly to a decrease in low-level ocean clouds, which reduced the planet's albedo and amplified warming, potentially creating a dangerous feedback loop.
