Global heating is no longer just steady; it is accelerating at a rate unseen since record-keeping began in 1880. New research reveals that the warming pace has nearly doubled—jumping from under 0.2°C per decade (1970–2015) to roughly 0.35°C over the last ten years—once natural “noise” like El Niño and solar cycles is filtered out. This structural shift, which emerged around 2013, suggests that if this trajectory holds, we will permanently breach the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit before 2030. This isn’t a statistical outlier; it’s a fundamental surge in the planet’s thermal trajectory that renders previous climate timelines dangerously obsolete. Read More
