In the atmosphere, the seas and around the poles, climate change is reaching disturbing new levels across the Earth.
That's according to a detailed global analysis from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
It says that 2016 was not only the warmest year on record, but it saw atmospheric CO2 rise to a new high, while Arctic sea ice recorded a new winter low.
"This increase in global temperature is consistent with other changes occurring in the climate system," said WMO Secretary-General, Petteri Taalas.
"Globally averaged sea-surface temperatures were also the warmest on record, global sea-levels continued to rise, and Arctic sea-ice extent was well below average for most of the year," he said.
In the face of all this information, climate researchers around the world are irked by the attitude of the Trump government in Washington.
The new administration has rolled back some of the global warming measures taken by President Obama, while the newly appointed head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, denied that CO2 was a primary contributor to warming.
"The WMO's statement on the 2016 climate leaves no room for doubt. The much-hyped warming hiatus is over - and the 'missing' heat energy didn't go missing at all. Instead, that heat went into the ocean, and we got much of it back again last year," said Dr Phil Williamson, from the University of East Anglia.
"Human-driven climate change is now an empirically verifiable fact, combining year-to-year variability with the consequences of our release of extra greenhouse gases. Those who dispute that link are not sceptics, but anti-science deniers."

So why, again, are there all those tree stumps below the glaciers in Greenland and in the Antarctic?
Never saw so much pure bullsh*t in such a short article before. The BBC is the enemy of the people.
These people need psychiatric help.
Paging Mr. Goebbels, Mr. Goebbels, please pick up the Red courtesy phone...
Here he is, with his environmental atmostphere expert:
Just posting the link, because I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the photo here.
Sending $100T to Africa will fix the problem. /sar
It was cool last Tuesday but today it is not cool. That clearly means we are all going to die. All of us!
Anyway, science is complicated and they are oh-so-smart and we are too dumb to understand. So just trust them. Scientist are perfect and have never been wrong. NEVER! /sarc
All the changes I’ve seen this last year have been good. Lots of rain, lots of Snow, green hills and mountains.
If this is man made climate change then man made climate change is a change for the better.
But believing in the power of man to direct the climate is a denial of the sovereign power of God. It is, in fact, Blasphemy.
Weather changes, daily.
Sometimes more than once a day.
I admit there are weather ‘cycles’.
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
The Earth experiences two Solstices a calendar year, and depending if you are in San Francisco or Sydney, the Solstices are the opposite, according to the opposite season.
The Earth experiences two Equinoxes a calendar year, and as with the two named cities, will be opposite seasons.
I admit that The Sun has ‘seasons’, or ‘cycles’.
These ‘cycles’ affect the weather over the Earth in somewhat predictable patterns. There are times of ‘maximums’ and ‘minimums’, of which each one has an amount of predictability. Yet scientists are always ‘baffled’, even with the tons of published papers of information concerning the historical recordings of these ‘cycles’.
All of what I have just written, is a cause and effect by Nature, which has been happening from before The Great Pyramids.
Did the cattle herds, necessary to feed those empires, contribute to any weather change by their combined flatulence? I’m sure, since the Egyptians were ‘record and account keepers’, someone would have translated that information by now.
To blame mankind for any effect on the weather on the Earth, would be an idiotic scientific attempt to blame man for the ruinous overabundance of water, which is said to have wiped out all things living, which means flora AND fauna, and then tax him accordingly to make up for that action.
“Sending $100T to Africa will fix the problem. /sar”
I know that was sarcasm but still, you should be more accurate.
“Sending $100T to bleeding a variety of organizations and causes who promise to work on the problem (could not type that with a straight face) should fix it.”
