In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers established a new pre-industrial temperature baseline, revealing that human-driven global warming has reached 1.49°C above pre ...

When the researchers applied those constraints to the medieval skeletons, they extrapolated that between 9 and 14 percent of pre-industrial Britons likely had cancer—an estimate a full ten times ...

Under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, countries have pledged to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees – and preferably to 1.5 degrees – compared to pre-industrial levels.

The global average temperature in January 2024 was 1.7°C above pre-industrial levels for the month, meaning the planet has breached the 1.5°C benchmark for the past 12 months ...

Potential pre-industrial–like new particle formation induced by pure biogenic organic vapors in Finnish peatland. Science Advances, 2024; 10 (14) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adm9191; ...

The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said. The last 10 years are the 10 hottest years on record, the WMO said.

The scientists said 2024 will also be the first year in which the planet is more than 1.5C hotter than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period. Skip to main content.
