The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029
New Scientist ^ | 5-28-2025 | Madeleine Cuff

The world could see its first year of warming above 2°C by the end of the decade, leading climate scientists have warned for the first time.

Each year, researchers at the Met Office – the UK’s national weather service – use observational climate data and modelling from institutions around the world to predict the global climate for the coming five years.

Their results suggest the average temperature in a single year could exceed 2°C above pre-industrial times by 2029, a result that would mark a significant and sobering milestone in the fight against climate change.

“That was effectively impossible a few years ago,” Adam Scaife at the Met Office told reporters during a briefing. Such an event would be “completely unprecedented”, he added.

The Paris Agreement of 2015 aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with an additional target of keeping warming at or below 1.5°C. Those aims would only be missed if that level of temperature rise is sustained over a couple of decades.

Last year was the first single year to record temperatures above the 1.5°C threshold, driven by rising emissions and a strong El Niño weather pattern. There is an 86 per cent chance that at least one of the next five years will breach the same threshold, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced for the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Nature has a way of making fools of these people. It also makes fools of the people that take them seriously. And yet huge numbers of people keep buying what they are selling.

I thought that the polar ice caps were supposed to be gone by this time.

Researchers at ‘the Met Office.” Did you know that the Met Office reports data from about 300 weather stations all over the UK, and admits that 100 of them are nonexistent? That’s right, they fabricate numbers to “fill in the blanks” in their coverage, “estimates” they call them. Reported at WUWT. This is what “climate science” has become.

Longer growing seasons and lower heating bills. Less snow so shovel in the winter.

So now they claim they can accurately measure the temperature of the entire Earth to the nearest tenth of a degree. I don’t know whether that’s arrogance or stupidity. Or just flat out lying.

It’s probably a combination of all three.

It is 66 degrees in Ga.
In late May.
Climate “experts” can go pound sand.

They can wake me up when Pevensey Castle goes back to having the water come up to the castle walls when the tide comes in like it did during the Medieval Warm Period. Or wake me up when the ancient port city Ephesus (Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians in the New Testament) is back on the shoreline like it was when it became a port city at the crest of the Minoan Warm Period (left of the Roman Warm Period in the graph below).

Last week we had frost advisories three days in a row so I put my garden on hold.

As I type this it’s 50 degrees and I just turned on the heat.

We could use a little of that global warming around here.

I'll go with flat out lying for a million dollars.

Plants need CO2 to grow. Are they trying to starve them?
