Dr @RobinLamboll said:

"Quite how much temperatures and CO2 concentrations went up by was surprising [...] working out how much was a temporary and how much systematic make it hard to use this single year to see how close we are to exceeding 1.5C in the long term."

[Grantham Institute Imperial @Grantham_IC]

💬Countries have agreed to the 1.5°C global warming limit not out of convenience but out of necessity to limit harm and suffering of people.

Read Prof. @JoeriRogelj and Dr @RobinLamboll's comments in response to @metoffice's latest warning regarding rising CO2 levels 🧵

🌍 CO2 Forecast 2025: The Mauna Loa observatory predicts a rise in CO2 levels to 426.6 ± 0.6 ppm in 2025. This continues the alarming trend of increasing atmospheric CO2 👉 https://t.co/TaZC2Pa52C

Prof. @JoeriRogelj said:

"The messaging around CO2 trends now exceeding 1.5°C scenarios is a sensationalist stretch & scientifically nothing new.

Even if we are on track to surpass 1.5°C [this] only makes a stronger case for focused action."
