US EditionJames Hansen study warns Earth warming faster than previously thought
- Scientists warn that the planet is on track to heat up at a faster rate than predicted, potentially breaching a crucial global warming threshold within this decade. The findings support recent research that concludes the world is rapidly approaching the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, leading to extreme weather events that will be challenging for humans to adapt to.
- To combat the increasing energy imbalance, scientists recommend taking extraordinary actions including taxing carbon pollution, expanding nuclear power, and supporting low-carbon energy transitions in developing countries. The report also suggests exploring solar geoengineering as a potential climate solution, although critics highlight concerns about unforeseen consequences. The urgency of the situation demands immediate and innovative responses.
- While some scientists question the paper's conclusions, arguing that climate change is not accelerating as fast as the models predict, it is clear that global warming is ongoing, with this year projected to be the hottest on record. The disagreement highlights the need for continued research, scientific consensus, and policy action to address the climate crisis.

Scientists warn Earth warming faster than expected — due to reduction in ship pollution
The past five months have shattered global temperature records. A new study led by renowned U.S. climate scientist James Hansen suggests one of the drivers is an unintentional global geoengineering experiment: the reduction of ship tracks.
Pioneering scientist says global warming is accelerating. Some experts call his claims overheated
One of modern climate science's pioneers is warning that the world isn't just steadily warming but is dangerously accelerating, according to a study that some other scientists call a bit overheated.

Pioneering scientist says global warming is accelerating. Some experts call his claims overheated
One of modern climate science’s pioneers is warning that the world isn’t just steadily warming but is dangerously accelerating, according to a study that some other scientists call a bit overheated. The work from former NASA top scientist James Hansen, who since leaving the space agency has become a prominent protester against the use of fossil fuels, which cause climate change, illustrates a recently surfaced division among scientists about whe…
