        "content": "Recent research on climate change has yielded several important findings:\n\n## Key Findings\n\n1. Global warming continues to accelerate. The Earth's surface temperature was 1.09°C higher in 2011-2020 compared to 1850-1900, with larger increases over land than oceans[1][3].\n\n2. Human activities are the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century. Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, land use changes, and unsustainable consumption patterns are primary drivers[1][3].\n\n3. Climate impacts are intensifying. Effects like sea ice loss, glacial melting, sea level rise, and more frequent extreme weather events are occurring faster than previously projected[5].\n\n4. Urgent action is needed. To limit warming to 1.5°C, global emissions must peak before 2025 and decline 43% by 2030 relative to 2019 levels[1].\n\n5. Systemic transformations are required across sectors including energy, buildings, industry, transport, and land use to achieve net-zero emissions[1].\n\n## Recent Developments\n\n- Summer 2023 was Earth's hottest on record, 1.2°C warmer than the 1951-1980 average[5].\n\n- The Arctic is likely to become ice-free in late summer before mid-century if current trends continue[5].\n\n- Wildfire seasons are lengthening and intensifying, especially in the Western United States[5].\n\n- Precipitation patterns are changing unevenly, with some regions experiencing increased flooding while others face more severe droughts[5].\n\n## Scientific Consensus\n\nMultiple studies show that 97% of climate scientists agree that recent climate change is primarily caused by human activities[4]. Leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued statements endorsing this position[4].\n\nThe evidence is clear that climate change poses significant risks to human wellbeing and planetary health. Rapid, concerted global action is necessary to secure a livable future and avoid the worst projected impacts[5]."
