Study finds global warming has accelerated since around 2015
Global warming has accelerated to a pace faster than previously recorded, according to a new study. Since around 2015, Earth has been warming at approximately 0.35°C per decade, nearly double the average rate observed between 1970 and 2015.
The researchers removed the effects of natural climate fluctuations from the temperature record and found more than 98% statistical confidence that the increase in the warming rate is real. The results indicate that recent temperature trends represent a significant departure from the slower pace measured over the preceding four decades.
