The climate report that the Australian government penned is apparently so grim that the experts who have been privy to it have publicly stated that it's far worse than anyone is willing to discuss.
And of course, it's still being blocked from release.
I feel that a lot of governments seem to be accelerating back to full speed with traditional anti-climate practices, and it makes me wonder if those that hold the keys know that the writing is on the wall and have let go of the reigns.

Or they are not releasing it because their data is likely not reliable. Almost everything the Australian government produces like this is agenda (neo-feudalism, anti freedom) driven and almost never is in favor of the common person.
I am not a climate change denier, I do believe we are messing up the environment at a rapid pace. I do question the methods and motives of these countries where their solutions are to take away arbitrary freedoms and in exchange do nothing to actually fix the problem.
As long as we pay more taxes we will be all saved right?

To play devil's advocate: China. Not only does China profit because it's a key supplier of renewable technologies, but increasing the cost of energy in other countries while continuing to heavily rely on coal themselves[1] makes them more competitive for manufacturing.
China is decreasing the cost of energy by manufacturing clean energy, battery storage, and EVs at scale. China builds new coal plants as peakers, but is also installing as much new clean energy in a year as most countries have built ever. No need to blame them for the laziness and incompetence of the supposed developed world.
If you don’t buy solar and batteries (the cheapest source of new power in ~97% of the world as of this comment), yes, your energy will cost more than China’s. Make better policy choices?
However, the search "United Nations global warming accelerated" does not seem to return results from the UN or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
It had never stopped accelerating. This shithole planet have plenty of positive feedback loops, so you warm up, then you have less reflective ice, less albedo and more heat absorption, permafrost thaws and that is more greenhouse gases emissions, increase forest fires so more greenhouse emissions and so on. And the we keep getting surprised at new positive feedback loops.
And, over that, we kept increasing each year how much greenhouse gases we emit. And not only we emit more, but also the main greenhouse gas (CO2) stays in the atmosphere for 100-200 years. So it is practically been accumulating since the industrial revolution, in increasing amounts each year.
What happened is that part of that latent warming was masked by pollution, and cleaning that pollution (that had its own problems) took out that mask.
The role of shipping fuel getting cleaned up and causing less cloud cover and therefore a decrease in albedo is well-known in the climate-oriented parts of US Government. It’s just that they’re all getting fired or otherwise silenced.

Had to look it up, here's a story about the missing report if anyone's interested: https://greens.org.au/news/media-release/if-minister-bowen-s...

Why can’t they release it and let people decide for themselves?
> There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!
so which is it, data is not reliable or agenda?

I don't understand how you can have such casual ignorance about climate change in 2025?
They are a bad faith poster.
Who profits from lying about the acceleration of climate change?
To play devil's advocate: China. Not only does China profit because it's a key supplier of renewable technologies, but increasing the cost of energy in other countries while continuing to heavily rely on coal themselves[1] makes them more competitive for manufacturing.

Everything is "free market" to climate change deniers until you talk about solar and battery technology, and then it's all a conspiracy apparently.
Humans are weird. Ah, well, onward.
so why would hiding the accelerating doom be in favour of China?
I'm afraid to say that you are either being wilfully ignorant or intentionally obtuse
No need to inform those who live in the Alps - we are seeing our mountains disintegrate right in front of our eyes.
Title (and title of the paper) are ridiculously editorialized.
More accurate description of the contents would be “aerosol reductions in marine shipping lead to increased global temperatures”
> Are the United Nations and the Public Informed? > Published online: 03 Feb 2025
This is the first time I hear of this, but that doesn't mean decision-makers haven't been informed.
One thing I like is that they title the article "Global warming", rather than the more euphemistic "Climate change".
NASA has it posted on their website too: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20250001491
As has Columbia University: https://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2025/Hansen_etal2025...
However, the search "United Nations global warming accelerated" does not seem to return results from the UN or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
But the UNFCCC does have as a top article "Indigenous Worldviews Strengthening Climate Resilience", the content of which is a whole ton of ineffective nonsense - https://unfccc.int/news/indigenous-worldviews-strengthening-...
Looking at the their agenda of their upcoming Climate Week September 2025, I wouldn't hold my breath for the UN to make a meaningful difference in fighting global warming - https://unfccc.int/topics/climate-weeks#Climate-Week-Septemb...
