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.
It’s all bad. Really bad. Oh, and most people don’t even have AC, so it’s off the scale kind of bad for them. This is the kind of weather when elderly people die and everyone else just suffers.
