Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. Here we show the impact on global cooling demand in moving from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C of global warming. African countries have the highest increase in cooling requireme
(2020) found that the wide ECS range of CMIP6 GCMs implies that at thermal equilibrium the global surface temperature could warm up between 1.0 and 3.3 ∘C above the pre-industrial period (1850–1900) even if anthropocentric emissions cease today. Scientists already wondered whether a strong ...

The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Most of the warming ...
BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) -- China's surface temperature rose by 0.24 degrees Celsius every 10 years from 1951 to 2017, higher than the global average temperature rise, according to an official blue paper released on Tuesday. The temperature rises varied within the country, with the Qinghai-...

Using the climate assessment models of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the WMO predicted that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, the Earth's average global surface temperature could rise more than 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, meaning more intense heat ...
Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the 21st century.[1] The range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as...
