Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.
They weren’t expecting a linear model. Did you read the article?
The increase in acceleration is something theyve noticed since 2013, as reported in the article (of about .35 per year instead of .2). There was also an unusual increase in 2023 and 2024.
These are all important things scientists should be measuring and reporting on, even if it seems obvious by random lemmy user looking at a graph (graph that was made by scientists measuring and reporting on their observations).
Did I read the article from science faily? No. I’ve read enough from that rag where they drew the opposite conclusion than both the data and author were saying, so why should I trust them to get this right?
Then why not read the actual journal article published by the researchers? I’m not opposed to going direct to the source, but it seems awful silly of you to make assumptions about what the researchers think without first seeking any information whatsoever.
