Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

16 days ago by ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ to c/science

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 could be 100 degress c every day and the deniers will still deny climate change.

In a MAGA interview some time ago: "Climate change is fake, humans can't change the creation of God".

the craziest part is that if climate change ends up killing off civilization; it'll all be part of god's plan anyways. lol
