~0.4 in 1970 to ~1.0 in 2010. That is an increase of 0.15 per decade. To get to an increase of 1.5 K will take about 30 years


My maths must be off. I make it about 60 years.

Temperatures had already risen by 1 K in 2010, so it only needs an additional 0.5 to reach the IPCC's first target of less than 1.5 K. 30 years at 0.15 K per decade gives +0.45 K giving a total rise by 2040 of 1.45 K, near enough to 1.5 K.
