Global Temperatures Drop Back To Pre-El Nino Levels

We’re now breaking global temperature records once every three years

According to Nasa, in 2016 the Earth’s surface temperature shattered the previous record for hottest year by 0.12°C. That record was set in 2015, which broke the previous record by 0.13°C. That record had been set in 2014, beating out 2010, which in turn had broken the previous record set in 2005.

If you think that seems like a lot of record-breaking hot years, you’re right. The streak of three consecutive record hot years is unprecedented since measurements began in 1880. In the 35 years between 1945 and 1979, there were no record-breakers. In the 37 years since 1980, there have been 12. The video below illustrates all of the record-breaking years in the Nasa global surface temperature record since 1880.
These include a spate of five record hot years between 1937 and 1944; however, ongoing research is investigating whether some of those are artificial, due to changes in the way temperatures were measured during World War II.

Even including World War II, in the first 100 years of the Nasa data, the high temperature record was broken seven times. It’s been broken seven times in just the past 20 years.

This rapid rate of record-breaking heat (once every three years) is consistent with climate scientists’ expectations. A 2011 paper by Stefan Rahmstorf and Dim Coumou found that as global warming continues, we should expect to set new records about once every four years.

Indeed, if we only use the data of the past 30 y, these show an almost linear trend of 0.017°C/y, yielding an expected 2.5 new record hot temperatures in the last decade [1 per 4 years].
Rahmstorf told me that so far, the rate of record-setting temperatures is in line with a consistent human-caused global warming trend:
Global temperature wasn’t the only record-setter in 2016. Global warming causes climate change, and North America saw its highest number of storms and floods in over four decades. Globally, we saw over 1.5 times more extreme weather catastrophes in 2016 than the average over the past 30 years. Global sea ice cover plunged to a record low as well. California endured a fifth consecutive year of its worst drought in over a millennium. A drought also savaged the maize harvest in Southern Africa, causing a famine. The list of climate consequences goes on.

2016's New Temperature Record Proves Climate Change Is Moving Disturbingly Fast

New data presented today by the NOAA and NASA shows that global temperatures hit a record high for the third straight year in 2016. But while the El Niño weather system was cited as a contributing factor, the researchers say an overarching global warming trend is indisputable.

As shown in the new report, the average global temperature across both land and ocean for 2016 was 1.69 degrees F (0.94 degrees C) above the 20th century average of 57 degrees F (13.9 degrees C). Average temperatures last year were 0.07 degrees F (0.04 degrees C) higher than they were in 2015. That makes it the hottest year since the NOAA began keeping records since 1879.

Disturbingly, this is now the fifth time that the temperature record has been shattered in the current century (along with 2005, 2010, 2014, and 2015), and it’s the 40th consecutive year featuring an annual temperature above the 20th century average. All 16 years of the 21st century rank among the seventeen warmest on record, with 1998 being the eighth warmest.

A 2016 temperature anomaly map shows the entire globe in disquieting hues of red. “It was really global warmth that we saw in 2016, more so than what we observed in 2015,” noted NOAA chief climate scientist Deke Arndt at a press conference held earlier today. His colleague, Gavin Schmidt from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said, “the trends that we’ve been seeing since the 1970s are continuing and haven’t paused in any way.”

Poor Tom...
 
Obama claims to be Christian. Obviuosly, you have contempt for him too, racist homophobic bigot. I bet you burst a blood vessel when he was pictured as a witch doctor for obamacare.

He really is a racist. And cannot see it. He can see clearly he is attracted to other men though.
 
Now you have really confused him/her/it, whatever the hell it is.
He said that only data from NASA or NOAA would cut it for him. Roy Spencer does work on behalf of NASA, if the ignorant twat had stopped running his mouth then he could have checked for himself!

Your own graph shows an unrelenting, muti-decadal, long term trend of global warming. Which, the world's best research climate scientists have concluded is largely or mostly due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. With dangerous consequences to the planets environment and economies likely to occur.

No amount of denial, delay, downplaying, or goal post moving is going to change that.

Now another dozy cunt is posting an article by Dana Nuttertelli who is now so discredited even the Guardian won't go near him.

NASA, NOAA Data Show 2016 Warmest Year on Record Globally

Earth’s 2016 surface temperatures were the warmest since modern recordkeeping began in 1880, according to independent analyses by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Globally-averaged temperatures in 2016 were 1.78 degrees Fahrenheit (0.99 degrees Celsius) warmer than the mid-20th century mean. This makes 2016 the third year in a row to set a new record for global average surface temperatures.

The planet’s long-term warming trend is seen in this chart of every year’s annual temperature cycle from 1880 to the present, compared to the average temperature from 1980 to 2015. Record warm years are listed in the column on the right.
The 2016 temperatures continue a long-term warming trend, according to analyses by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. NOAA scientists concur with the finding that 2016 was the warmest year on record based on separate, independent analyses of the data.

Because weather station locations and measurement practices change over time, there are uncertainties in the interpretation of specific year-to-year global mean temperature differences. However, even taking this into account, NASA estimates 2016 was the warmest year with greater than 95 percent certainty.

“2016 is remarkably the third record year in a row in this series,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt. “We don’t expect record years every year, but the ongoing long-term warming trend is clear.”

The planet’s average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere.

Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with 16 of the 17 warmest years on record occurring since 2001. Not only was 2016 the warmest year on record, but eight of the 12 months that make up the year – from January through September, with the exception of June – were the warmest on record for those respective months. October, November, and December of 2016 were the second warmest of those months on record – in all three cases, behind records set in 2015.

Phenomena such as El Niño or La Niña, which warm or cool the upper tropical Pacific Ocean and cause corresponding variations in global wind and weather patterns, contribute to short-term variations in global average temperature. A warming El Niño event was in effect for most of 2015 and the first third of 2016. Researchers estimate the direct impact of the natural El Niño warming in the tropical Pacific increased the annual global temperature anomaly for 2016 by 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit (0.12 degrees Celsius).

Not surprising that you have contempt for Rev. MLK and the first Black U.S. president, bigot :palm: I suppose you have contempt for the victims of the AME church shooting too. :palm:

Again for the incredibly stupid and irrepressibly bone headed. I, and many others, do not deny there is a very mild warming trend. What we do deny most vociferously is the post-apocalyptic caterwauling of CAGW alarmists like yourself.

Exactly. Spot on. Could not have been said better. Bravo!
