Serously, what do we do to reverse this?
Ok which ones the messiah?
You kids clean this up. It was a nice place before you all smoked.....

Even if we stopped CO2 production around the world today, the effect of this temperature rise will continue for more than one hundred years.You kids clean this up. It was a nice place before you all smoked.....

We could get more fun movies, ala post #4. In tha movies you can scrape by, hide in the crevices and narrow spots, wrangle an Earth-bound comet with muscle power, or send the Lizard back to sleep in the ocean deep for a while.Even if we stopped CO2 production around the world today, the effect of this temperature rise will continue for more than one hundred years.
I believe it is too late now to stop climate change and it will probably accelerate. After all, we are electing conservative governments to avoid the ramifications of having to use alternate energy sources.
We now have two direct threats to mankind's survival, nuclear war and climate change.
With developing economies in Asia, Africa and South America, demanding more and more power the CO2 production will only accelerate.
Learn to love climate change.
That sounds like a film reference?Or we can invent a chemical that cools the Earth, overuse it, and have the survivors live on a speeding train.
except that places being cold does not in any was contradict the scientific fact of anthropogenic climate change.
Nor does any other evidence, apparently. Climate change is going to be said to be a FACT, no matter what facts contradict it.
But then again, when a place is hot, then the Climate change people come out to use it as their evidence to support their position. Hmmmm.
Those climate statistics over the last century show a very pronounced rise in sea and land temperatures.It's useful to be aware of the recent 5-10 years entire-globe average temperature vs timeframes like since 1980 and also in the longer 130 yr long picture--
Global Temperature | Vital Signs – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

I find the rise in temperature alarming and the effect of the heat even more disturbing.
The world's largest coral reef system, visible even from outer space, has lost half of its coral in the past two years. The Great Barrier Reef, once a colorful and visible display of biodiversity and a symbiotic ecosystem, now resembles a ghost town where life once flourished. (Forbes.com)
A couple of amendments:Regardless of variations in year to year, it's all happening faster than guessed.
A couple of amendments:
1. No guesses were involved. (I know you know that, but not all members and lurkers do.) The estimates were serious, data based evaluations.
2. Faster than the deliberately conservative consensus view presented to the public, but not faster than some investigators suggested was possible, or likely. Increasingly it looks as if there would be some merit in listening to the panic merchants.
Meantime we should do all we can to encourage climate change deniers to buy beachfront property.
I'll re-read it with your comments in mind. Thank you.Did you read post 18 by chance? I'm on a mobile device at the moment, so can't explain at length, but I refer even to a 5 day weather forecast, based on huge data and tightly refined modeling as "guessing", for specific reasons I can discuss later if you like.
The "guesses" are very useful on average, and save lives and time and money.

That first article's headline was sensationalistic, while in comparison on the other hand the 2nd headline about the tundra releasing toxins was just accurate.But your graph in post #1 seems to indicate that it's even very short term temperature spikes that have climate scientists shocked. Why don't they conclude that local weather doesn't determine global temperature in this case like they do when there's a drastic cool-down somewhere?
