Study Finds Global Warming Accelerated Since 2015

global warming acceleration 2015 temperature trend Paris Agreement 1.5°C temperature datasets Geophysical Research Letters

Researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research published a study in *Geophysical Research Letters* that shows the long‑term rate of global warming has sped up markedly since 2015. Analyzing five major temperature datasets—NASA, NOAA, HadCRUT, Berkeley Earth and ERA5—and filtering out natural variations such as El Niño, the team found the warming pace rose from about 0.2 °C per decade (1970‑2015) to roughly 0.35 °C per decade in the most recent decade. The acceleration became detectable around 2013‑2014 and was clearly evident by 2015, with statistical confidence exceeding 98%.

The authors warn that if the accelerated trend continues, the world could surpass the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C warming limit before 2030, underscoring the urgency of reducing carbon emissions to zero.

The study’s findings were reported by multiple news outlets worldwide, highlighting the global relevance of the accelerated warming trend.
