 Global Warming IS Accelerating (confirmed 6 March 2026, Foster, Rhamstorf)
May 2025 was the 21st month in a 22-month period for which the global warming above  1.5°C The run was broken by June 2025.
2024 was the global warming record year at 1.55°C2023 was 1.45°C and 2025 1.47°C​ (Copernicus)
Atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration (CO2 eq.) drives global warming.It is record high (519 ppm CO2eq) and accelerating ​CO2 is responsible for about two thirds of global heating and all the ocean acidification.

Global temperatures from the past three years (2023-2025) averaged more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level (1850–1900). This marks the first time a three-year period has exceeded the 1.5°C limit. Air temperature over global land areas was second warmest, whilst the Antarctic saw its warmest annual temperature on record and the Arctic its 2nd warmest (Copernicus)
​​The 1.5°C danger limit is broken, and 2°C is being broken, which James Hansen says will be in the 2030s, not 2050 (as IPCC)​​
