How do the rising atmospheric CO2 levels, ocean warming, and melting ice contribute to the accelerating climate change?

The report highlights that while limiting long-term global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible with strong action, 2024 marked the warmest twelve-month period in 175 years of observation. Atmospheric CO2 reached its highest level in 800,000 years, exacerbating ocean warming and sea level rise.
