The last 16 years include
the 15 HOTTEST years.



So the 15 hottest years (on record) occurred in the last 16 years;

but some folk still claim that global warming is a hoax.

If you include 2011 (which was apparently the tenth warmest year on record) you can say that the last 17 years, include the 16 hottest years on record.

But remember, according to some, global warming is not, and never will be, a problem.

Here are the anomalies in an easy to copy format:

The anomalies measure the difference from the 20th century average (1901-2000).

some people wont believe it until they wake up and the ocean
is at their front door.

btw those are "recorded temperatures" the earth has gotten much hotter in the past.

I think that you got to be a fool nowadays to not beleive in climate change..

the above is pretty much true , we can slowly become acclimated to temperatures higher than we are used to and we never really can tell the difference.

the problem is that our bodies core temperature cannot endure
a steady 104 degrees farenheight.

one really good way to avoid hyperthermia is to keep several 2 liter coke bottles filled with water in your freezer.

first off the frozen water will keep your food cold after the power fails.

if the power switches off for several hours and you feel as if you are becomming overheated , forget the food wrap a thick towel around one of those 2 liter bottles of ice and hold it close to your body with your hands.

this will lower your core temperature.

and the 2 liter bottle of ice will last you all day long and through the night , because it is insulated by the towel.

frequent flood and tsunami are results of it. i am facing enormous heat increasing rate in my country from last 6 years. temperature raised about 10-112 degrees in 6 years.

One can now say that....

The last 18 years include the 17 HOTTEST years (on record).

2899 record low temperatures vs 667 record high temperatures

we need to face it , its global cooling now , expect to
learn the truth about it.

fluctuations.

It seems to me that what is happening is change rather than cooling or heating on its own. The extremes of hot and cold seem to exist together, and we should be acknowledging that something is happening to the climate we live in.

The Arctic is now navigable, the ice is melting--- but winter storms were bad in the Northern Hemisphere last year. There were record hot temperatures last summer in Australia, but winter has seen some record lows! It's a mess and we need to be seriously thinking about the ways we can deal with it.

I think that maybe it has been hotter before, but then there was not the population of billions of humans that we have today. And neither were those populations using polluting forms of energy to heat and cool themselves year round! It would be a good idea to take the idea of alternative energy seriously for a start.

I don't think that the incoming new government here is about to be involved in any solutions. Our new PM has not appointed a Science Minister or given the responsibility for science to any of the cabinet. It's not looking promising!

Climate change? Or the earth winding down naturally!
