The last decade was the warmest ever recorded, 2019 the 2nd warmest year in history

Last year was the second warmest year on record around the globe, making the last decade the warmest in recorded history, according to a new government report released Wednesday.

Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the higher average temperatures are the result of human activities that release greenhouse gases and that the trends of warming show that the effects of global warming and climate change are continuing beyond year-to-year fluctuations in temperature and weather.

Experts from NASA found that average global surface temperature has consistently increased since the 1880s, which their analysis found has been driven by emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by human activity such as energy production and transportation.

“We crossed over into more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit warming territory in 2015 and we are unlikely to go back. This shows that what’s happening is persistent, not a fluke due to some weather phenomenon: we know that the long-term trends are being driven by the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

In 2019 temperatures around the world were higher -- about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit or 0.98 degrees Celsius -- than the historical average, according to data from NASA and NOAA. It's the 43rd year in a row that temperatures were above average, the agencies said.

“Not according to the climate pimps and the MSM whores.”

I hate sharing a planet with them.

No doubt. 2018 was much hotter in the summer here in mn, the summer of 2019 was easy by comparison.

They never tell us what happened to make the temps to be so high back in the 30s and 40s.

Check out this 13-minute video that's full of graphs and data.

Devil's advocate: the trends of warming show that the effects of global warming and climate change are continuing beyond year-to-year fluctuations in temperature and weather. To the extent that it is true, and it is news ... then what's up with the scaremongering of past 20 years? maybe someone happened to be correct after all, but it was speculation!

And my answer is always the same..layers.

You mean the sky is NOT falling?

The chicken little syndrome is all a ruse?

The NASA earth observatory photographs do not lie.They need NO computer modeling to interpret them.

Yup! If it’s not recorded by the u.n. warmunists, doesn’t count.

Thanks for the Anthony Watts speaks at COP25 link.

You're welcome.
I ran across it after watching one of the Tony Heller videos.
Heller's presentation is pretty bland, but the information is good.
