"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."
