Original Summary
The German Physical Society and the German Meteorological Society issued a joint statement warning that there is a risk of accelerated global warming, and that a 3°C increase by 2050 cannot be ruled out. This is based on the judgment that it will be difficult to achieve the target of a temperature rise of 2°C or less with current climate policies.
If it took 65 years for a past 0.5°C increase, now the speed is faster, and it is expected to take only 28 years to reach a 1°C increase and 17 years to reach a 1.5°C increase.
In particular, concerns have been raised that if sea surface temperature rises accelerate and the ocean can no longer properly act as a warming buffer, atmospheric temperature rises could accelerate further.
Therefore, they emphasize the urgent need for stronger and more decisive climate protection measures to minimize these risks.
