Rising greenhouse gas emissions intensify extreme weather
A new study says we might hit a major global warming milestone sooner than expected.
By early 2028, greenhouse gas emissions could push Earth's temperature up by 1.5°C since pre-industrial times—surpassing the Paris Agreement's safety limit and raising the risk of severe climate impacts.

Urgent action needed to cut emissions, say scientists
Researchers warn there's only room for about 143 billion more tons of CO2 before we cross that line, and at our current pace, we'll reach it in just a few years.
Most of these emissions come from burning fossil fuels, which also drive extreme weather.
The scientists urge quick action to cut emissions now to protect vulnerable people and regions from worsening climate change.
