AI Analysis Suggests Global Warming May Accelerate Faster Than Expected

New studies predict critical climate thresholds could be reached decades earlier, with Europe warming significantly above the global average.

Artificial intelligence-based models predict global temperatures could exceed pre-industrial levels by 1.5°C as early as 2040, with some regions reaching 2°C soon after.
Europe is warming faster than the global average, with temperatures already 2.3°C above pre-industrial levels compared to the global increase of 1.48°C in 2023.
By 2060, under a high-emission scenario, European regions may see temperature increases of at least 3°C, surpassing prior projections.
Researchers warn that the global target to limit warming to 1.5°C is now virtually unattainable, and even the 2°C goal is at high risk without drastic emission reductions.
Scientists emphasize the urgent need for climate adaptation investments to prepare for more extreme conditions likely to exceed current preparedness levels.
