Recent data indicates an alarming acceleration in global warming, with temperatures rising by 1.19 degrees Celsius from 2014 to 2023, attributed partly to reduced air pollution. While cleaner air reduces harmful particles, it also means less cooling from aerosols, contributing to temperatures rise. CO2 emissions reached a record high of around 50 billion tons last year, exacerbating climate change. With the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement at risk of being breached for the first time this year, experts stress urgent action to cut emissions significantly, citing the need for a transition away from fossil fuels.
