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 fossil fuels. Something like a 100 million barrels of oil a day.

    But people blame the cows. LMAO

      It’s BOTH of what you listed, and more, that are affecting climate. Just because something is a greater percentage of the cause, doesn’t negate the other contributors.

      It’s both. There are trillions of cattle producing an enormous quantity of feces every day that produce enormous quantities of methane, which is a far worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide per gram
