The Science of Accelerated Global Heating

Table showing data on global warming acceleration, including end values in °C and rates in °C/decade, with columns for various cross rates from +1.5°C to +4.0°C, and averages for each.

Global warming has accelerated significantly temperature crossing points

Simons, 2025

Line graph showing Earth's energy imbalance from 2000 to 2022, with black line for absorbed solar radiation change and red line for outgoing longwave radiation change. Highlights include two periods of Earth's energy imbalance exceeding +0.4 W/m², with recent trend leading toward +1.4 W/m² as of 2022.
