How to use "Worsening" in context?
climate
There has been a significant worsening of the global climate in recent decades according to a report published in the journal Science this week. Dozens of scientists from around the world have analysed data from more than 1,300 climate change studies, and conclude that the Earth is currently in a critical "phase change" where the rate of warming has far outstripped the global response. This is the first time scientists have been able to identify this kind of clear pattern in the data - and it is indicative of a much greater problem ahead. The changes we've seen so far are just the beginning.
