.....Already
Too Late?
By
July 2015, the planet, already having been warmed by 1 degree Celsius
over preindustrial temperature levels, was already halfway to the
politically agreed upon goal of aiming to limit the global
temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius.
The
same week world leaders recently gathered at the UN in New York to
sign the international climate commitment, Gavin Schmidt, the head of
NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, announced that the average
global temperature for this year will likely range from 1.1 degrees
to just below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Japan's
Meteorological Agency also reported that the first three months of
this year were an average of 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial
baseline levels.
Fifteen
of the 16 hottest years ever recorded have occurred since 2000, and
NASA's Schmidt said he is already "99 percent certain" that
2016 will be the warmest year ever recorded ... again.
The
past 12 months alone have shown unprecedented warming, as March 2016
was the 11th month in a row to have set a record for being the
warmest of that specific month, ever.
There
is no evidence to lead us to believe anything other than that these
dramatic planetary warming trends will continue unabated....[ ]
