Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Date: August 1, 2026
Source: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
Summary:
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.

Big deal! The Earth is warming and the rate of warming is accelerating. Most likely the rate of increase will continue to accelerate. Donny Dumbass and his collection of dunces have won!!
Now we must turn our attention to adapting to global warming. How?
Construct higher sea walls, better storm drains, and flood barriers to protect coastal areas and streets from heavy rain and rising oceans.
Paint roofs white to reflect heat, add rooftop gardens, and plant more trees in cities to lower the urban heat trap effect.
Make energy systems tough against severe storms and high heat.
Grow hardy crops. Plant seeds that survive in dry soil and high heat.
Improve local water storage, fix leaks, and use smart watering systems for fields.
Restore forests, wetlands, and mangrove swamps to soak up floodwaters and block storm surges.
Make emergency plans: Know evacuation routes and safe spots for extreme heat waves or floods.
Support public cooling centers – Use public libraries or community spaces during dangerous hot days.
