TL;DR

A Geophysical Research Letters study finds global warming is accelerating: 0.35°C per decade from 2015–2025 versus about 0.2°C per decade from 1970–2015 after filtering out El Niño, solar, and volcanic influences, with 98% statistical certainty. If this pace continues, the 1.5°C limit could be exceeded before 2030, underscoring the urgency of reducing fossil-fuel CO2 emissions to zero to slow warming.
