The Science of Accelerated Global Heating

Table showing data on global warming acceleration, including end values in °C and rates in °C/decade, with columns for various cross rates from +1.5°C to +4.0°C, and averages for each.
Line graph showing Earth's energy imbalance from 2000 to 2022, with black line for absorbed solar radiation change and red line for outgoing longwave radiation change. Highlights include two periods of Earth's energy imbalance exceeding +0.4 W/m², with recent trend leading toward +1.4 W/m² as of 2022.

A Realistic Climate Strategy

Taylor et al, 2025

Graph showing daily global surface air temperature anomalies from 1940 to 2024, with recent years 2023 and 2024 highlighted. It compares current data against the preindustrial reference level (1850-1900).
