It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. Let's not begin on the war today.

You know, one of our principles for doing the show during the war is to not let everything else that matters get lost, right?

So today we'll lead with another development that has global implications.

And we're going to mention the war in Iran, but not center it.

We're going to bring some new science on climate change that's big news in the scientific community,

but hasn't broken out much

into the general press or the general public. New research published this month found that the

rate of global warming has accelerated even faster than anticipated since 2015. The rate of warming

has accelerated even faster than anticipated by 2015. The rate of warming has accelerated even faster than anticipated

by the scientific models. And that's after accounting for other phenomenon such as volcanic

eruptions, solar radiation, and natural variability. And of course, with President Trump's

return to office,

sidelining green energy, starting a war with Iran that has led some countries to return to

burning more coal, our next guest writes that a number of the planet's systems are flashing

warning signs. That guest is David Gellis, reporter on the New York Times climate team who leads the

Times Climate Forward newsletter and events series. His latest reporting is on that research,

and why scientists are saying several of the Earth systems are changing faster than predicted

as global temperatures rise.

David, thanks for joining us for this.

We noticed your article on the Times, and I said, I want to talk to him about this.

Welcome to WNYC.

Thanks for having me back, Brian.
