Reports at COP31 show 1.5°C warming threshold may be crossed by 2029
Two new analyses presented at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, found that global warming is accelerating faster than expected. Climate Action Tracker projected the planet remains on pace to warm nearly 5°F by 2100, while the EU's Copernicus climate service said the 2.7°F (1.5°C) threshold could now be breached by 2029, more than a decade earlier than estimated when the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015.
