Met Office: Atmospheric CO2 rise now exceeding IPCC 1.5°C pathways

Quick Summary:

The rate at which atmospheric CO2 is increasing is now outpacing the pathways set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Comparison of recent and forecast annual change in atmospheric CO2 concentration with an illustrative scenario limiting global warming to 1.5C.

If natural carbon sinks weaken more than already expected, this would further increase the difficulty of slowing the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
