Scientists Detect a Sharp Acceleration in Global Warming The latest analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research confirms that global warming is accelerating at an alarming rate.
By accounting for natural temperature fluctuations, researchers found that the planet has warmed by approximately 0. 35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared to a 0. 2°C per decade increase from 1970 to 2015.
The significance of this finding cannot be overstated. The study's statistical certainty is more than 98%, indicating that the change in warming rate is not a minor fluctuation but a clear and unmistakable trend.
