Global warming reached an estimated 1.51°C in May 2025. 'If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by December 2036' May was the first month below this trend in almost two years. Global warming accelerated significantly!

Leon Simons@leonsimons.com · last yr.

During our Climate Chat, someone asked when we reach +3.0°C with current warming rates. Here I extrapolated the warming rate from 'Global Warming has Accelerated Significantly' by Grant Foster and Stefan Rahmstorf (2025 preprint) to up to +4°C (extending their table 1):

Fascinating new study from @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social reveals that upwelling—the slow rise of deep, cold water to the surface—is not only much faster than we thought but also sharply concentrated near the equatorial Pacific Ocean. cires.colorado.edu/news/pacific...

Fangyi Tan and I led a new study showing how the 2023 El Niño triggered record-breaking ocean warming across Southeast Asia. Heat anomalies spread deep into regional seas, with warming reaching 40 m. Our work highlights the urgent need for sustained ocean monitoring. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
