AI Summary

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters indicates that global warming has significantly accelerated over the past decade, with Earth warming by 0.35 degrees Celsius per decade from 2015 to 2025, a 75% increase compared to the previous decades. This rapid rise raises concerns that the critical global warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius could be breached as early as the 2030s, potentially leading to severe climate impacts. While some scientists support the findings, others argue that recent temperature spikes may be influenced by natural climate variations like El Niño. The study underscores the urgent need for climate action as the consequences of rising temperatures become increasingly severe.

Key Details: • Global warming accelerated to 0.35 degrees Celsius per decade from 2015 to 2025. • The 1.5 degrees Celsius limit may be breached before 2030 if current trends continue. • The study analyzed five global temperature data sets to filter out short-term climate variations.
