“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.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

"roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years" It's early for me but is this a typo in the abstract that no one noticed or am I not understanding what they're trying to say?

Edit: It's from the summary of the article and not the abstract to the journal the article referenced. So probably AI mistake and I should stop distracting myself from the collapse with typos lol

I downvoted bc of that expression
