That is a fairly dramatic increase over 2014 and 2016 is predicted to be even hotter. Also 5 of the warmest years on record in the last 10 years.

"It’s official: 2015 was the hottest year on record, beating out 2014 by the widest margin in 136 years of record keeping, U.S. government agencies announced Wednesday. But this new record may not stand for long, as one of the strongest El Niños ever measured combines with the continued warming of the planet to potentially push 2016 to yet another record.“2015 was remarkable even in the context of the larger, long-term warming trend,” Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in a statement."

I quit reading it but can I assume that the last "hottest year on record" thread wasn't going so well so you determined you needed to start another one?

Anything could happen. Aliens could make contact as well. Why do people always want something to be afraid of?

Al Gore has made a ton of money off it. There is still time to get in on the action. You could probably still get in on carbon credits now with little money. If somehow the bankers can make them legit you could profit off the poor also.

That is what is know as weather, maybe you should post on the Alaska thread or wherever you are from


This is about climate change, do agree that 2015 was the hottest year in the last 135 years or are you just going to use your extensive research. Dbones research or NASA's Goddard Institute, tough choice.
