The Challenge of Limiting Global Warming to 1.5°C

The latest climate data paints a grim picture, with global temperatures continuing to rise, posing a significant challenge in achieving the goal of limiting global warming to no more than 1.5°C. As we progress through 2025, it is becoming increasingly evident that this target is slipping further out of reach.

In April 2025, global temperatures remained exceptionally high, making it the second-warmest April on record, just behind April 2024. Data from both Copernicus and Berkeley Earth indicates that the global average temperature for the month was around 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, marking the 21st month out of the last 22 to exceed this critical threshold.

2024 set a new record as the hottest year globally, with temperatures reaching 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels. This surpassed the 1.5°C mark for the first time in history, highlighting the urgency of the situation. The Paris climate accord’s target of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C is now facing significant challenges.

Despite expectations of a cooling La Niña pattern providing some relief in 2025, global temperatures have remained stubbornly high, fueling concerns that this year could match or even surpass the record-breaking temperatures of 2024. The possibility of 2025 crossing the 1.5°C threshold looms large, with experts like Robert Rohde from Berkeley Earth noting a significant likelihood of this outcome.

The trajectory of global temperatures for the remainder of the year hinges on the development of El Niño or La Niña patterns in the Pacific, adding a level of uncertainty to the situation. The persistent warmth experienced in recent years has raised doubts about the achievability of the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement, with experts warning of the inevitability of crossing this threshold in the near future.

Scientists emphasize the importance of continued efforts to mitigate climate change and emphasize that while limiting warming to 1.5°C may be challenging, staying below the 2°C mark is still within reach with concerted global action.

Experts Express Concern Over Rising Temperatures

Richard Allan from the University of Reading acknowledges the shift in scientific consensus regarding the feasibility of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The sustained period of high temperatures and recent records have reshaped the understanding of climate change dynamics, underscoring the need for urgent and decisive action.

As the world grapples with the escalating climate crisis, the importance of adhering to international agreements and implementing robust climate policies becomes increasingly critical to safeguarding the planet for future generations.
