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.
I had been thinking of moving back to San Jose. Has it gotten worse? I used to live in Japantown about 10 years ago and kind of miss it.
I would say it’s actually better. Especially over the last 10 years. At least my little corner.
