By : Rahul Varma Wednesday, 5 June 2024 Human-Induced Warming: Human-induced global warming has risen to 1.19°C over the past decade (2014-2023), increasing at a rate of 0.26°C per decade, the highest rate recorded.

By : Rahul Varma Wednesday, 5 June 2024 Recent Temperature Increase : The warming caused by human activity reached 1.3°C last year, with a total of 1.43°C above the 1850-1900 average in the multi-data set mean used in the study.
