Scientists detect a sudden acceleration in global warming
Global warming has increased to about 0.35°C per decade since 2015, surpassing the previous rate of 0.2°C per decade, after removing natural climate influences.
- A newly published paper in Geophysical Research Letters shows a clear acceleration in global warming since around 2015, with Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research researchers reporting over 98% statistical certainty, co-author Grant Foster said.
- Using noise-reduction across five datasets, the team filtered nonhuman influences in NASA, NOAA, HadCRUT, Berkeley Earth, and ERA5, applying quadratic trend analysis and a piecewise linear model to detect warming shifts since the 1970s.
- The study found about 0.35°C per decade in the past 10 years, compared with about 0.2°C per decade earlier, and adjusted results show over 98% confidence in this acceleration.
- Escalating extreme weather — heat, floods, snow and fires — reflects shifting climate patterns that produce unprecedented extremes affecting communities and ecosystems.
- While not attributing a single cause, the study indicated that greenhouse gas emissions are a likely explanation, warning that zero CO2 is needed to prevent exceeding the Paris Agreement 1.5 limit.

New study reveals humans are accelerating global crisis faster than ever before: 'Pretty widespread’
New research determined that the rate at which the planet is heating has increased, the Guardian reported. What's happening? It's not "new news" that average temperatures are climbing. However, a newly published entry in Geophysical Research Letters carried an alarming finding about how that warming is accelerating. Scientists had previously observed an ongoing uptick in "extreme heat," with several of the past few years breaking heat records. …

Global warming has picked up speed in the past decade, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By removing short term natural influences such as El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles from temperature records, researchers uncovered a clear acceleration in the planet’s long term warming trend beginning around 2015.
It is an alarm signal that makes the scientific community tremble: global warming is no longer just progressing, it is accelerating at a speed never seen since the beginning of the surveys in 1880. According to a major study published this 6 March in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the pace of the rise of temperatures [...]
