💨 Abstract

A study released in June 2025 predicts that by early 2028, human activities will have emitted enough carbon dioxide to make 1.5 degrees Celsius of long-term global warming nearly unavoidable. This threshold, set by the 2015 Paris Agreement, aims to limit severe climate impacts like heatwaves and sea-level rise. Current emissions trends and the accelerating Earth’s energy imbalance are driving this rapid progression, highlighting the urgency of climate action.
