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.
Thanks Americans. You enabled this.
They might have accelerated it, but it’s been happening since the Industrial Revolution.
It’s a few more than them.
The last 10k years has been steadily cutting down and burning trees and great forests drying up. That all adds up.

Damn Oceania
Well, Australia has one of the highest per capita spendings a year. Historic data doesn’t really show the current reality. (14.5 tons)
The US does also emit more than twice the co2 a year per capita compared to Europe. (14.2 v 6.5 tons)
Although we’re seeing pockets reduce emissions, we do still increase emissions globally.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s helpful to see the big picture on a per capita basis.
That would be a crazy timeline if somehow, despite any logic or sense, we discovered that the tiny island of Tuvala was somehow responsible for a quarter of the world’s cumulative CO2 emissions. 😂
