A landmark study published in March 2026 in Geophysical Research Letters provides the first statistically significant evidence that global warming has accelerated since 2015, with the rate of warming nearly doubling from 0.2°C to 0.35°C per decade. The findings, which build on earlier work by James Hansen and others, point to reduced aerosol pollution from shipping regulations as a key driver, and suggest the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C threshold could be permanently breached before 2030 — years earlier than previously projected.
