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.

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.
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. 😂

They might have accelerated it, but it’s been happening since the Industrial Revolution.
It’s a few more than them.
