After years of political failure, the world can still rescue 1.5°C – if countries pursue the “highest possible ambition”, starting now.

New report from Climate Analytics and @pik-potsdam.bsky.social shows how it’s possible.

A commentary in @nature.com argues the 1.5°C temperature limit has “outlived its usefulness” because we’re headed towards overshoot and should be replaced by a “clean-energy shift” metric. That’s the wrong diagnosis. Here is why.

As we breach 1.5 °C, we must replace temperature limits with clean-energy targets
Actionable goals are needed to guide the world towards what needs to happen most quickly: shifting economies to clean energy sources.

It's difficult to fathom what the WA Envtl "Protection" Agency doesn’t understand abt the climate problem. Wilfully & deliberately authorising a massive gas development in this pristine environment must only be viewed as institutionalised climate denial.

More clear evidence from @wmo-global.bsky.social today that global temperatures continue to rise.

There's still time to act — but only if governments rapidly pivot from weak and incremental steps to bold implementation of renewables, energy efficiency, and methane cuts.
🌡️ WMO confirms 2025 was one of warmest years on record.

2025 was one of the 3 warmest years on record, with the global average surface temperature at 1.44°C ± 0.13°C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of 8 datasets.

2035 TARGET: #SouthAfrica ’s 2035 NDC continues declining emissions trend and is below 2030 range — but ambition hasn’t increased. The 2035 target is less 1.5°C-aligned than the 2030 NDC. Coal phase-out delays and slow progress in buildings, transport & industry remain key gaps.

The high gas use AEMO projects for at least the medium term doesn't have to become reality - high emissions and energy bills can be avoided.

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Norway combines strong climate policies at home with a fossil fuel export model that shifts much of its climate impact abroad: its new 2035 NDC is 1.5°C aligned – domestically, but the country still relies heavily on oil & gas.

2035 TARGET ANALYSIS: #Chile's new 2035 climate target is not 1.5˚C aligned according to its fair share, and the gap between its target and 1.5˚C pathways has grown compared to 2030. The 2035 emissions level would require additional action to meet.

As we celebrate 10 years of the #ParisAgreement, we look back at why 1.5°C was set as the warming limit.

@billhare.bsky.social explains why 1.5°C is the legal, moral, and scientific boundary for the world – and what’s at stake if we ignore it.

10 years on – what has the #ParisAgreement done for us?

Warming is new predicted to reach 2.6–2.7°C – about one full degree less than what was expected before Paris

One degree sounds small. It isn’t.
December 14, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Ten years ago in Paris, governments agreed to limit warming to 1.5°C and get global GHG emissions to net zero in the second half of this century.

Since then, they’ve adopted policies and targets that bring projected warming down one full degree less.

2025 was again a severe #hurricane season with 4 major hurricanes (3 cat 5 hurricanes).
In terms of accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) it was slightly above a normal season.

To give a flavour of our G20 country factsheets in the report:

➡️ #China alone delivering on the global energy and methane goals could reduce emissions by 44% below current policies by 2035, esp by expanding renewables, and increasing electrification.

This weekend the #G20 meets in Johannesburg: Our new report shows if governments, by 2030 (and beyond) act on three COP28 Energy & Methane goals, it will make a big difference to end of century warming.
But the heavy lifting needs to come from the G20.
