Global Warming Speeds Up: New Data Reveals Accelerated Temperature Rise

August 1, 2026

New research indicates a significant acceleration in the rate of global warming, showing an increase of about 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years.

This rapid rise contrasts sharply with the previous rate of just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015, suggesting that climate change is intensifying faster than previously thought.

The acceleration became evident around 2013-2015 and was consistent across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty, indicating a robust trend.

Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

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.
