Sad to see that leadership didn’t approve of my suggested post language (assuming since this is what is posted) that I submitted on my last day in May as the social media manager.
Allow me share some of our team’s kind words here instead:

"Österreich hat sein CO2-Budget für das 1,5-Grad-Ziel bereits 2022 verbraucht."

1,5-Grad-Schwelle wird wohl schon 2028 übertroffen – und die Erwärmung beschleunigt sich
Einer bahnbrechenden neuen Studie zufolge wurde das CO₂-Budget für das 1,5-Grad-Ziel bereits aufgebraucht. In weiten Teilen Österreichs ist es bereits jetzt teilweise um drei Grad wärmer

Just out: Our new paper addressing urgently needed clarity for the Paris Goals, given the imminence of the 1.5°C-crossing of the long-term global surface temperature anomaly.
These results further underscore the need for deep & rapid emission reductions worldwide.
These results further underscore the need for deep & rapid emission reductions worldwide.
Anthropogenic global warming is set to exceed 1.5 °C already by 2028 and hence improved quantification of the Paris goals is proposed. This is based on a new benchmark timeseries from 1850 to 2034 that tracks global surface air temperature change.

The NOAA layoffs aren't just crude, they're a direct attack on US capacity to do climate science by firing highly productive young researchers. @zachlabe.com has an insanely strong publication history, part of the Fresh eyes CMIP team, WMO task teams etc. /1 www.gfdl.noaa.gov/zachary-labe/

Now that everyone has their annual temperature data out, here is a quick summary across groups.
In addition to record warmth in every dataset, it's the first year where most estimates are at least 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warmer than the 1850-1900 baseline.

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.
More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

2024 was the first year above 1.5°C. This does not mean that the 1.5°C level has been broken through. What remains to be seen is whether this is a continuation of 2023's trend, and what the causes are.

Die globale Temperatur in den Messdaten von 5 Instituten verglichen mit den Projektionen von Klimamodellen laut #IPCC-Bericht (schwarz, Unsicherheit grau).
2024 ist das wärmste Jahr seit Beginn der Messungen; nach paläoklimatischen Daten wahrscheinlich sogar seit 120.000 Jahren.

Not one single word on environmental impact. Except in the cost section. Cost of carbon credits and « sustainable « fuel will be about 0.5% of revenues 🤬

Strengthened Profitability Expected in 2025 Even as Supply Chain Issues Persist
IATA announced its financial outlook for the global airline industry in 2025, which shows a slight strengthening of profitability amid ongoing cost and supply chain challenges.

Very strongly related to the whole surface temperature issue:
Did you miss the C3S Climate Bulletin?
🌡️ After November data, 2024 is virtually certain to become the warmest year on record.
❄️ Antarctic sea ice extent: Record low for November, 10% below average
