arXiv:2512.07353v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mountain huts are buildings located at high altitude, offering a place for hikers and providing shelter. Energy supply on mountain huts is still an open issue. Using renewable energies could be an appropriate solution. Jiujiu Cabins, a famous mountain hut in Shei-Pa National Park, Taiwan, has operated an off-grid solar energy storage system (ESS) with lead-acid batteries. In 2021, a serious system failure took place, leading to no electricity. After a detailed on-site survey, a reorganization and repair project implemented, the energy system came back to operate normally. Meanwhile, an eco-friendly lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP battery) ESS replaces part of the lead-acid battery ESS, forming a hybrid ESS, making a better and green off-grid solar ESS. In this case report, the energy architecture, detailed descriptions, and historical status of the system are provided. An on-site survey of the failed energy system, a system improvement project, and future plan are listed.

Global warming hit 1.37°C in 2025, with Earth accumulating heat at an accelerating rate

Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C in about four years. Crucially, the rate at which heat is accumulating in Earth's system suggests high levels of future warming.

World will cross 1.5°C warming limit by 2030 if emissions continue at current rate - report

The rate of human-induced warming remains at an all-time high, according to the latest Indicators of Global Climate Change report. The world is edging dangerously close to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming threshold, with human-induced warming reaching 1.37°C in 2025, a major new report warns. If emissions continue at current levels, the 1.5°C limit will be crossed around 2030, according to the analysis by more than 70 scientists from 56 institutions across 17 countries.
