Global warming has accelerated since 2015, with more than 98% statistical certainty, according to a study published Tuesday by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Geophysical Research Letters.

Researchers filtered out natural influences, including El Niño and volcanic eruptions, to isolate the underlying warming trend. Their analysis found that global temperatures rose at approximately 0.35°C per decade over the past 10 years, the fastest rate recorded since instrumental measurements began in 1880.

PIK researcher Stefan Rahmstorf warned that if this pace continues, long-term global warming could exceed the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C threshold before 2030.

Speaking at the Reuters Sustainability Europe conference, PIK director Johan Rockström said damage to the Amazon rainforest and coral reefs was approaching potentially irreversible levels as extreme weather intensifies.

The findings raise further concerns about the speed of climate change and the growing risks facing vulnerable ecosystems worldwide.
