Human-caused global warming has been increasing faster and faster since the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Summer started barely a week ago, and already the United States has been smothered in a record-breaking \u201cheat dome<\/a>.\u201d Alaska saw its first-ever heat advisory<\/a> this month. And all of this comes on the heels of 2024, the hottest calendar year<\/a> in recorded history.<\/p>\n

The world is getting hotter, faster. A report published last week found that human-caused global warming is now increasing by 0.27 degrees<\/a> Celsius per decade. That rate was recorded at 0.2 degrees in the 1970s, and has been growing since.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t surprise scientists who have been crunching the numbers. For years, measurements have followed predictions that the rate of warming in the atmosphere would speed up<\/a>. But now, patterns that have been evident in charts and graphs are starting to become a bigger part of people\u2019s daily lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach additional fractional degree of warming brings about a relatively larger increase in atmospheric extremes, like extreme downpours and severe droughts and wildfires,\u201d said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While this aligns with scientific predictions of how climate change can intensify such events, the increase in severity may feel sudden to people who experience them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack when we had lesser levels of warming, that relationship was a little bit less dramatic,\u201d Dr. Swain said. \u201cThere is growing evidence that the most extreme extremes probably will increase faster and to a greater extent than we used to think was the case,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
