Global Warming Accelerates: NASA Data Shows Rapid Temperature Rise
US · Published Feb 11, 2026
NASA data shows global warming is accelerating, with the rate increasing from -0.03°C per decade in 1970 to 0.25°C per decade by
The acceleration is primarily due to reduced sulfate aerosols and changes in cloud cover, revealing the true extent of warming.
The last 11 years have been the warmest on record, with recent years having less than a 1-in-100 chance of occurring naturally.
Global warming accelerates at an alarming rate
According to a recent analysis by the Washington Post, global warming is accelerating at an alarming rate. Data from NASA’s GISS Surface Temperature Analysis version 4 (GISTEMP v4) indicates a significant increase in the rate of warming. The analysis reveals that the planet's warming rate has jumped from -0.03°C per decade in 1970 to 0.25°C per decade by 2025. This acceleration is primarily due to the reduction of sulfate aerosols, which previously masked some of the warming effects, and changes in cloud cover.
