      Unfortunately we haven’t even slowed it at all. 2024 was the highest-emission year yet. We’re still accelerating

      We had a year of average +1.5C, but the coming years are unlikely to be as hot on account of moving into La Niña. This is bad, but it’s not the same as having crossed the +1.5C-threshold, which is measured in a window of multiple years.
