Scientists detect sharp acceleration in global warming to 0.35°C per decade

Researchers have found that global warming has shifted into a faster gear, with the planet heating at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years — nearly double the rate of under 0.2°C per decade recorded from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, visible from around 2013–2015, appeared consistently across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty. The findings account for the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions and solar cycles.
