The date shown when humanity reaches 1.5 °C will move closer as emissions rise, and further away as emissions decrease. An alternative view projects the time remaining to 2.0 °C of warming. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The clock is updated every year to reflect the latest global CO 2 emissions trend and rate of climate warming. [ 1 ]
After the "hiatus", the opposite occurred, with 2024 well above the recent average at more than +1.5 °C. [62] This is why the temperature change is defined in terms of a 20-year average, which reduces the noise of hot and cold years and decadal climate patterns, and detects the long-term signal.

ΔT = average global temperature change (°C) E T = cumulative carbon dioxide emissions (Tt C) ΔC A = change in atmospheric carbon (Tt C) and, 1Tt C = 3.7 Tt CO 2. TCRE can also be defined not in terms of temperature response to emitted carbon, but in terms of temperature response to the change in radiative forcing: [10]
Changes in the weather can sometimes leave us experiencing aches and pains or just shaking our heads in disbelief. On Jan. 15, 1972, 53 years ago, a weather observer in Loma, Montana, measured a ...
The global average and combined land and ocean surface temperature, show a warming of 1.09 °C (range: 0.95 to 1.20 °C) from 1850–1900 to 2011–2020, based on multiple independently produced datasets.
As the graphic includes red concentric circles denoting temperature changes of 1.5°C and 2.0°C, [1] Hawkins explained that "the relationship between current global temperatures and the internationally discussed target limits is also clear without much complex interpretation needed". [17]
7 April: NOAA reported carbon dioxide levels were higher than at anytime in the past 3.6 million years, in the Mid-Pliocene Warm Period when sea level was about 24 mm (78 ft) higher than today and the average temperature was about 4 °C (7 °F) higher than in pre-industrial times. [21] NOAA's redefinition of "average" and "normal":
A related measure is the transient climate response to cumulative carbon emissions (TCRE), which is the globally averaged surface temperature change after 1000 GtC of CO 2 has been emitted. [31] As such, it includes not only temperature feedbacks to forcing but also the carbon cycle and carbon cycle feedbacks. [32]
