Global Warming May Reach 1.5°C Limit by 2029

At the COP31 climate conference, scientists and analysts reported that global warming has accelerated significantly since the 2015 Paris agreement. While previous projections estimated the 2.7° Fahrenheit (1.5°C) threshold would be crossed around 2045, updated data from the EU's Copernicus climate service suggests it could happen as soon as 2029 due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. Experts attribute the grim outlook to stalled government action and ongoing fossil fuel development over the past five years. Analysts warn that even under optimistic scenarios, the planet is on track for dangerous temperature increases by the end of the century, threatening ecosystems and causing severe weather worldwide.
