Rome, June 11 (LaPresse) – The Earth is accumulating too much heat and is doing so at an accelerated rate. These are the key findings of the latest Indicators of Global Climate Change (IGCC) report, published today in Earth System Science Data. It is now explained that we are at the limit of a +1.5 degrees Celsius increase compared to pre-industrial levels, the first threshold for limiting the average temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement. Global warming reached 1.37 degrees Celsius in 2025. Essentially, the analysis suggests that human activities have contributed to this outcome; and its level is expected to exceed 1.5 degrees within about four years. Essentially, “the rate at which heat is accumulating in the Earth system suggests high levels of future warming.” The analysis involved an international team of over 70 scientists, including from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), from 56 institutions in 17 countries, with the participation of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) on behalf of the European Commission.
Climate, Earth accumulating too much heat: almost beyond +1.5 degrees threshold
