Statistical Breakthrough Confirms Dramatic Acceleration in Global Warming Rates Since 2015 Climate Pivot Point

2. SUMMARY

A new analysis of five global temperature datasets reveals that the pace of global warming has surged to 0.35°C per decade since 2015, nearly doubling the previous historical rate. By filtering out natural climate noise like El Niño and volcanic activity, researchers have established with 98 percent certainty that the planet's long-term warming trend is gaining unprecedented speed.
