GoKawiilKansas researchers project 1.5°C warming threshold could be crossed by 2028
A new paper in Climate and Atmospheric Science by two University of Kansas researchers finds the rate of global warming roughly doubled between 2011-2025 compared with 1971-2025. Extrapolating that accelerated trend, the authors project the planet could cross the Paris Agreement's 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold by 2028, nearly a decade earlier than prior estimates.
