Scientists detect a sudden acceleration of global warming

Global Warming Surges, Antarctic Seas Bubble

Global warming is on a very ominous trend that has never happened throughout human history, according to a recent study in Geophysical Research Letters. The rate of global warming has doubled in only ten years. This rapid rate, outside of the influence of nature alone, should be unsustainable for any mass the size of Earth. However, if it is sustainable, danger signals today will be catastrophic results tomorrow. Indeed, new discoveries in the A…

Scientists detect a sudden acceleration of global warming

By removing short-term natural influences from temperature records, such as El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found a clear acceleration in the planet’s long-term warming trend beginning in 2015. Previous analyses concluded that the increase in the rate of warming had not yet reached a 95% confidence level, taking into account the natural variability of temperature. According to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for C…
