The rate of global warming has increased since 2015, with temperatures rising at approximately 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared to 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015.

Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in #GlobalWarming - Global warming has sped up since around 2015, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After removing the effects of natural temperature swings, researchers found the first statistically significant evidence that the planet's long-term warming rate is accelerating. Over the past decade, global temperatures have risen at an estimated pace of about 0.35°C per decade, depending on the dataset used. By comparison, the average warming rate from 1970 to 2015 was just under 0.2°C per decade. The recent pace is higher than that of any previous decade since instrumental temperature records began in 1880. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260801093239.htm #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty. #science #climate
