Earth is getting hotter despite government pledges

A new study found that the pace of global warming has accelerated in recent years despite political commitments to curb the progress of the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to preindustrial times. Global temperatures increased on average by 1.07 degrees Celsius in the decade from 2010 to 2019, but the average rise in the decade from 2013 to 2022 was 1.14 degrees Celsius. That means that the pace of human-induced climate change is accelerating at a rate of over 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade. The researchers said that the still-rising levels of human-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main culprit.
