Global emissions had to decline with ​'immediate action'​ by 2025 for the 1.5°C AND 2°C limits (way too late now for 1.5°C))

 Global Warming IS Accelerating (confirmed 6 March 2026, Foster, Rhamstorf)
2024 was the global warming record year at 1.55°C and 2025 was 1.44°C (WMO)
ATMOSPHERIC GREENHOUSE GAS CONCENTRATION
​Atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration (CO2 equivalent) ​drives global warming, not CO2 alone.
​It is increasing, at a record high of 539 ppm CO2eq. in 2024, and it is accelerating   (NOAA AGGI)  ​

Atmospheric CO2 ​​is accelerating, and has been since start of monitoring in 1958
It reached an annual record high of 427.35 ppm in 2025 (NOAA)
Mitigation
For the 1.5°C and the 2°C limit global GHG emissions had to peak and decline by 2025​

This not being recommended (apart from in the IPCC Assessment).
​​​​​​
GLOBAL GHG EMISSIONS​ 
2024 global GHG emissions are still increasing (being increased) and reached a record 53.2 Gt CO2eq.
​(EDGAR, 2025)
Emissions show acceleration in the long and short term.

Instead, they are still being increased, as fast as ever, which means future planetary catastrophe.

Global warming - is being accelerated
Sept. 2026, UNEP, Limiting Overshoot Report
​The 1.5°C globally disastrous danger limit has been breached- and 1.8°C committed  'under best-case scenario temperature increase is 1.8°C'. Minimizing temperature rise is 'through immediate and sustained cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, including methane'.

Global greenhouse gas emissions is used by the IPCC
​for assessment and mitigation, not CO2 alone
