CHICAGO (AP) — For the second year in a row, Earth will almost certainly be the hottest it’s ever been. And for the first time, the globe this year reached more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming compared to the pre-industrial average, the European climate agency Copernicus said Thursday.
“It’s this relentless nature of the warming that I think is worrying,” said Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus.
Buontempo said the data clearly shows the planet would not see such a long sequence of record-breaking temperatures without the constant increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere driving global warming.
News of a likely second year of record heat comes a day after U.S. Republican Donald Trump, who has called climate change a “hoax” and promised to boost oil drilling and production, was reelected to the presidency.

“Buontempo said the data clearly shows the planet would not see such a long sequence of record-breaking temperatures without the constant increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere driving global warming.”
Uh huh, and where did he get his control data set?
1) Is it really getting hotter?
2) Is it our fault?
3) Is warm weather a bad thing? Would we prefer colder weather?
Thank the Lord Trump was elected. We’re going to get to keep our AC so it won’t be as warm as the envirowackos would like it.
Liars and thieves say what..?
Now that the election is behind us, we can again concentrate on things that are actually important.
When it’s the coldest year they say NOTHING but they make up this stuff up anyway
Do the asclowns in EU-topia want a gold medal or something? Climate ain’t static!
“European climate agency says this will likely be the hottest year on record — again”
My opinion, but I’m convinced this was one of the drivers of the Ukraine War, if not the top driver. Basically, due to our de-industrialization there is NOTHING that the West can do to stop climate change (assuming that it’s real and that it’s caused by humans) WITHOUT shutting down the big players, and the big players are not in the West. They are China, Russia, India, and many, many, other countries. We’re now a relative speck in carbon emissions.
So, what do you do? Get control of the biggest players. China is too strong (and getting stronger daily) to make a direct play, so you go after their jugular, that being Russia. Cut off Russia’s energy and food exports to China, and China collapses, and the path to Russia runs right through Ukraine - and hence the Ukraine War. It’s difficult for me to see any other reasons for starting that war, and Lloyd Austin has said that the purpose of the war is to “weaken Russia”. Others high-up in government has stated (in papers) that they want to dismember Russia into smaller, controllable, states. All adds up...but too bad, their dreams ended 2 days ago.
If someone time-traveled from the 1850's to 2024, I'm sure he would say "It feels really hot. It is 1.3 degrees warmer than I thought it would be"
Obviously, the only solution is to live like we did in the pre-industrial age.
How do we get there? Take all your money and freedom.
Sure we can
But don’t expect the Leftist Climate Alarmist to join us.
They don’t think to mention that the mid-1800s is when The Little Ice Age ended. So ... an Ice Age ends, and temperatures start to go up? Is that a surprise? Is it our fault?
I’ll put that new snowmobile on hold :)
No one believes the mainstream media now.
In science.
Or in politics.
And most important, in truth.
AP, just go away. Anywhere but in the US.
For those who want real science concerning the climate, Google “Watts Up with That” for real charts, analysis, and articles by folks who actually have a real background in ...science.
Another good rational site is
German in origin. Proof some Germans\Europeans can still think rationally about science.

That is 30 years of an almost unbroken string of “Hottest years on record”
The smallest resolvable change in the Earth's mean temperature is 0.15 degrees Celsius
For these claims to be true, the Earth would have have seen a minimum cumulative temperature increase of 4.5 degrees Celsius over the last 30 years which equates out to an 8 degree F temperature increase.
This has obviously not happened and the media global warming scares over the last 30 years have been lies.
Even worse, with the advent of the Global Warming hysteria, world governments went to “more advanced “ temperature monitoring” systems to “more accurately” track the global climate change.
These newer systems have an intrinsic 1 degree C higher temperature reading due strictly to the measurement instrumentation used. (ie if the old system read 30 deg C the new system would read 31 deg C in exactly the same conditions)
These newer systems have been installed at a steady pace over a couple of decades or so which gives a steady increase in measured temperature over a given region of 1 deg C as the new measurement stations get phased in. This gives the false impression of an actual increase in world mean temperature when all that is being seen is the end result of phased in intrinsic instrument measurement method variation.
We just got a wet, heavy snow in the Albuquirky metro. Not a lot, but enough to snap tree branches and sag wires. Also enough to effectively shut the city down, since the only snow removal operation broke the handle on their scoop shovel in 2008.
On record
_________
The record is pretty short!
They started reliably measuring and logging on temperatures somewhere in the late 18th century (during the extremes of little ice age).
And only in very few places.
Most records go back maybe 100-150 years ago.
So, yes, we are rebounding from the horrors of Little Ice Age, rejoice!
Science proves the solution is a boot stamping on a human face forever.
Surprise, surprise... The hottest year on record, yet again.
Go to Google, type in the words ‘heating up faster than’ and then enter any location on earth and there will be a story on how that place is heating up faster than any other place on earth.
Global warming is nothing less than mass propaganda to justify creating additional taxes on those who can’t afford them... Taxes that are then stolen by corrupt Politician’s, their families and their friends.
