Study: 1.5-Degree Celsius Warming Threshold Likely to Be Passed by Early 2028
A new study predicts that by early 2028, humanity will have emitted enough carbon dioxide to make exceeding the crucial 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming threshold highly probable, triggering more severe climate extremes and jeopardizing vulnerable populations.

Global Warming Exceeds 1.5°C Limit; Three Years Remain Before Threshold Breach
A new report from 61 scientists finds that the planet is warming faster than expected, exceeding the 1.5°C limit in 2024, with only three years of emissions remaining before the threshold is breached, based on current emission rates. This warming increase is attributable to human activities and ampl...

Three Years Left to Limit Warming to 1.5C, Scientists Warn
A new study by over 60 leading climate scientists warns that the Earth could surpass the 1.5°C warming limit in three years at current CO2 emission rates, based on a shrinking carbon budget of 130 billion tonnes, with the rate of heating more than doubling since the 1970s and 80s, primarily due to g...

OECD Study: 1.5-Degree Climate Target Offers Significant Economic Benefits
A new OECD/UN study finds that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would boost the global economy significantly by 2050, despite initial price increases, while countries heavily reliant on fossil fuel exports would see slower growth; however, long-term climate damage is not fully factored...
