Stefan Rahmstorf, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and lead author of the study, explained that the adjusted data shows an acceleration of global warming since 2015. He also warned that if the current warming rate continues, the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit will be exceeded before 2030.

Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist, expressed significant concern over the new findings, stating that the 'pessimistic' models for the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation are unfortunately the realistic ones, and that a shutdown tipping point may be passed by mid-century.
