Climate Science Weekly — March 23, 2026
New analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research confirms that global warming has accelerated dramatically since 2015, with Earth now warming at approximately 0.35°C per decade — nearly double the rate recorded in the 1970s. A separate study finds that extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, underscoring the human toll of accelerating climate change. Meanwhile, NASA has confirmed that 2025, 2024, and 2023 rank as the three warmest years in its 146-year temperature record.
