Abstract
By using exclusively the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and X-ray surface brightness data
from 25 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.023< z < 0.784 we access cosmic acceleration
employing a kinematic description. Such result is fully independent on the validity
of any metric gravity theory, the possible matter-energy contents filling the Universe,
as well as on the SNe Ia Hubble diagram.
