Miami (AFP) - In 2014 the world's oceans swelled, major greenhouse gases that fuel global warming hit record highs and the planet's surface temperature reached its hottest point in 135 years, international researchers said Thursday.
The findings are contained in the 2014 State of the Climate report, a peer-reviewed study that examines temperature, precipitation and weather events around the world.
A total of 413 scientists from 58 countries around the world contributed to the report, the 25th in a series that is based on data collected by environmental monitoring stations and instruments on land, water, ice and in space.
The warmth reached deep into the oceans and high into the atmosphere, and scientists warned that the climate continues to change quickly compared to the pre-industrial era, with no end in sight.
"If we were to freeze greenhouse gases at their current levels, the seas would actually continue to warm for centuries to millennia," said oceanographer Greg Johnson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
"And that means as they warm they expand, and sea level would continue to rise," he told reporters on a conference call to discuss the report.

I haven't posted a global varming thread in a few days. :-)
Please expand as one sees fit..
The ‘vent it’ lamp is lit!!

So the ice still floating in lake superior last july must have been dry ice?
They should rename it Lake Clinton.
More people breathing in 2014 than ever before!
Let me get this straight...according to these leading scientists everything in the universe is here by accident. Random mutations of slime haphazardly grew into self-recognizing protoplasm and now this meaningless entity has run amok, and is sending itself to an unavoidable early extinction.
But, in the interim they want me to stop driving while Al Gore runs 4 mansions, 15 Expeditions, and 4 Lear Jets to tell me it is my fault? I’ve got a suggestion...
Is this based on the “real” temps or the “adjusted” temps?
Besides, if, as the article claims, the oceans are going to continue to rise for millenia based on what’s already baked in the cake, nothing can be done anywho, so, party on!
Its OK,, Leo just donated millions to green orgs,, and Branson has plans that make the mind boggle.
Utter crap from the appropriately named “Yahoo.” How many lies can be crammed into one short report?
I highly suspect that the only thing heating up are these cooked numbers.
There you have it.

So that’s the reason we had such a long and brutal winter !!! Okie dokie.
Water vapor releases seen at all time high. Cloud cover grows exponentially. Storm tossed seas push water vapor high in to the atmosphere. We’re doomed!
Yeah, that CO2 is a killer...
Doomed we are.
