The chance of reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius of heating by 2025 has “roughly doubled” compared to last year’s predictions and now sits at 40%. gizmodo.com/were-speeding-…

'If countries meet their net-zero and other new climate goals..fossil-fuel emissions would peak by 2025 and then start to rapidly decline..
Despite a peak and decline..the world’s climate pledges still falls well short of..1.5C'
Growth won't work.

1.5°C trend: 2026-2028
'Central estimates.. might be biased by the inclusion of models that have shown faster warming in the historical period than the observed..
estimates show all scenarios reaching 1.5C.. in the second half of the current decade'

Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C would prevent most of the tropics from reaching extreme wet-bulb temperatures of 35 °C, 'the limit of human adaptation.'
