Climate change continues to accelerate

On the climate problem, surely there has been progress by some measures. Renewable energy sources have indeed grown, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of total energy use. Yet the problem is accelerating. Below are three separate metrics illustrating the acceleration. 

Efforts to date have been too little, too late.

Global Temperates 

In 1970 Global temperates were increasing about 0.2 °C/decade. Today the rate is about 0.35 °C/decade.

Sea Level 

Globals sea levels since 1960 have risen about 2.06 mm/year. Since 2005 that rate Is nearly twice as fast at 3.94 mm/year.

Atmospheric CO₂ 

In 1985 the CO₂ growth rate was roughly 1.3 ppm/year. Today, that growth rate is roughly 2.7 ppm/year.
