Fossil fuel emissions are pushing Earth’s climate toward a dangerous new phase of climate “overshoot,” scientists warned Wednesday in a new report from the United Nations Environmental Programme.

A new United Nations report, which found that the global temperature is expected to rise above the 1.5°C threshold likely within the next few years, elevating climate-related risks and impacts

The small silver lining is that it’s still possible for this to be a temporary overshoot of the target. If nations redouble their efforts to phase out fossil fuels and reduce other sources of emissions, they could limit peak warming to 1.8°C and then use carbon removal methods to bring temperatures back to 1.5°C or below this century.

It proposed a new goal of limiting the “overshoot” of rising temperatures and eventually figuring out how to undo the temperature gains, a highly uncertain path.

Technology companies are stepping up their climate commitments but not fast enough to counter rapidly growing energy needs linked to the artificial intelligence boom, a report said Wednesday.

Over the past half-century, the oceans have stored almost 90% of the excess energy trapped in Earth’s system by greenhouse gases and other factors. According to the latest State of the Climate report,
