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.
The massive AI data centers are too new to have an effect yet.
that only takes out one event. there is still Trump and the rest of the corporate corruption causing pollution
Trump’s first term started in 2017. This warming effect first became visible around 2013-2014. As much as i hate that orange menace, this thing was already happening before him. It’ll take several years, if not a decade for his actions to show their effect on the climate.
From the article:
Further in the article they point out, that they don’t have an explanation yet, but they do mention that the models occasionally show that kind of effect. So it’s not entirely unexpected.
