Perhaps worldwide melting of glaciers by global warming will increase the incidence of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, as well as increasing the intensity of hurricanes.

I believe that what the phrase is trying to get at is either the acceleration relative to the pause in the 1950 - 1970 period, or the acceleration in accumulation of noticeable consequences — worldwide glacier melt, sea ice retreat, earlier onset of springtime, (possibly) increasingly intense hurricanes, Larsen - B breakup, melting of Greenland along the margins, etc..

Melting of ice sheets and glaciers in Greenland is a major source in the increase of rising sea levels worldwide, a new study revealed.

Recent studies showing the worldwide acceleration of glacier melting indicate that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's estimate for sea level rise this century — ranging from 0.1 meters to 0.9 meters — will need to be revised upwards.

Because it drives climate change, deforestation is a matter of melting mountain glaciers, crop - shrinking heat waves, rising seas, and the many other effects of climate change worldwide.

As explained in the press release, the scientists began with the measure of sea level rise between 2005 and 2013, then deducted the amount of rise due to meltwater (e.g., melting ice sheets and loss of glacier mass worldwide) and then the amount of rise due to the expansion of water from the warming in the upper portion of the world's oceans (which scientists have good data on).

The same basic divisions — said in hundreds of different ways in dozens of meeting rooms in the Peruvian capital — have stalled any significant move to combat climate change, though it is already affecting farm output worldwide; adding to uncertainty over freshwater availability; hastening glacier melt; raising sea levels; and making storms, floods and droughts more frequent and more severe.
