First, our conclusions suggest that a target of limiting global warming to 2 ◦ C, which has sometimes been discussed, does not provide safety.

The current IPCC report, for example, limits the natural contribution to global warming since 1950 to less than plus or minus 0.1 ° C (it might have been negative e.g. because of the fading sun).

I just looked it up and it has SH land temps for Sep 08 as +0.44 C or 10th warmest, well below Sep 05 at +0.85 C. (Of course, it has very limited Antarctic coverage, but then again I don't know how many more stations GISS takes into account.)
