A video from Just Have a Think. He discusses a paper by Grant Foster and Stefan Ramsdorf, which confirms that the rate of global warming has accelerated from 0.2 degrees C per decade to 0.4 degrees C. One of the authors of this paper is Grant Foster, who is "Tamino'", and I've commented on his pieces published on his blog "Open Mind" several times over the last few years. See this, and this, and this.
Just Have A Think explains quite well the techniques used to prove their point. He cautions that just because temperatures have been rising twice as fast as they were between 1970 and 2010 over the last decade, it doesn't mean that they will necessarily continue to do that.
On the other hand they might, and they might even accelerate. Just being prudent and cautious would suggest that we should accelerate our attempts to slash emissions, especially since wind and solar power and batteries and EVs have fallen so much in cost.
