The scientists, led by Eric Oliver
of Dalhousie University in Canada, investigated long - term
heat wave trends using a combination
of satellite data collected since the 1980s and direct ocean temperature measurements collected throughout the 21st century to construct a nearly 100 - year
record of marine
heat wave frequency and duration around the
world.
The
world's oceans are currently in the midst
of the third major die off — termed bleaching by scientists — ever
recorded and the hot waters around Christmas Island have been dealing with the
heat for months.
The planet has also been running abnormally warm, including
record heat in much
of the
world's oceans.
If the folks at Guinness
World Records kept tabs on climate change, they'd be taking note that the planet has hit a milestone: levels
of heat - trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have averaged more than 400 parts per million each day for the entire month
of April.
These
records show both the influence
of the long - term trend in global warming — caused by the continued release
of heat - trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere — as well as an exceptionally strong El Niño that is altering weather around the
world.
We also talk about whether the
record heat waves hitting all around the
world are just the result
of El Nino, or is it climate change, and how would we know?
After three consecutive years (2014 to 2016)

One looked at the historical temperature
record and compared how often such severe
heat waves occurred a century ago versus today using 3 - day averages; the other used climate models that simulate a
world with and without warming to see how the odds
of such an event shifted.
The long - term warming
of the planet, as well as an exceptionally strong El Niño, led to numerous climate
records in 2015, including milestones for global temperatures, carbon dioxide levels and ocean
heat, according to the
World Meteorological Organization's annual State

But as you can see in the NASA figure above, the
record breaking
heat wasn't uniformly distributed — it was particularly pronounced at the top

I would suggest comparing peak to peak average temperature captures during weighted El - Nino events (during the time they occur, if they can be compared equally this would be a telling graph), instead
of considering year to year
records as a means
of reducing ENSO effects on the temperature
record, ENSO being largely a
heat exchange between air and sea causing great changes in cloud distribution
world wide.
The latest onslaught
of heat and precipitation
records really get very little attention by
world press unless someone dies or gets seriously injured.
Say in your part
of the
world the number
of new
heat records has been constant during the past fifty years.
Back in ’88 there was still quite a debate about whether the
world was in fact warming or whether the temperature
record had been contaminated by the urban
heat island effect
of cities springing up around former rural weather stations.
The last decade has produced
record - breaking
heat waves in many parts
of the
world.
June 2016 brings us to 14 months in a row
of record - breaking
heat for the globe, but that's not all that's popping this week in the weather and climate
world!
Science Corrupted: It's «the hottest year on
record», as long as you don't take its temperature — Activist James Hansen's claims based on «pure conjecture» — Hansen's Climate Con: «The parts
of the
world which GISS shows to be
heating up the most are so short
of weather stations that only 25 per cent
of the figures are based on actual temperature readings»
When a temperature anomaly
of ~ 0.1 degrees Celsius (the difference between 2015 and the previous global
heat record of 2014 — please note the above graph is in Fahrenheit, not Celsius) can lead to such an extreme carbon feedback response, we know we can expect a lot more feedback - induced CO2 now that
world leaders are about to seal a 3.5 degrees warming deal — if at least 2030 pledges are not raised before the start
of COP21, the Paris climate summit.
For those
of us who are willing to take the leap and put our faith in the
world's scientists, as we do for almost every other aspect
of life, they've put together some visuals to help illustrate just how stark July's
heat record really was:
The
record - setting 2003 European
heat wave contributed to a
world harvest that again fell short
of consumption by 90 million tons.
As the globe has been experiencing
record heat during the spring
of 2010, floodwaters that have been predicted by climate change science are wreaking havoc in many locations
world - wide.
Communities around the
world are feeling these impacts in the form
of extreme weather,
record drought,
heat waves, floods and more.
Much ado has been made recently in the media and the blogosphere
of recent extreme weather events around the
world: the flooding in Tennessee and Pakistan, the Moscow
heat waves,
record drought in the Amazon, and yet more flooding in Queensland and Brazil.
This is accompanied by massive back and forth transfers
of heat between the oceans and the atmosphere which was previously unsuspected and which shows up in all
world temperature
records.
But with fossil fuel burning continuing at near
record levels globally, and with many corporations and political bodies around the
world dragging feet on greenhouse gas emissions cuts, the level
of heat - trapping carbon held aloft in our airs will continue to rise for some time.
Scientists caution that even though the
world is warming over time, with the amount
of heat - trapping greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere now unsettlingly ensconced at the highest level in human history, every year is not expected to set a new
record.
Hidden within annual averages and expected variability are startling instances
of new temperature and rainfall
records in many parts
of the
world — weather extremes that would once be considered anomalies but that now risk becoming the new norm as the Earth
heats up.
So we have
heat records from some 8 %
of all the countries in the
world which then supposedly makes 2010 the «hottest ever.»

Masters's column then delves into specific events from around the globe: extremely low Arctic ice and rapid melting in Greenland; a radical shift from El Nino to La Nina; an Amazonian drought; a bizarre period for tropical cyclones and monsoons; floods,
heat waves,
record rainfalls across the
world; the strongest non-coastal storm in U.S. history; and a long list
of countries that set
record high temperatures.
The U.S. is only 2 percent
of the
world's surface; eastern North America was about the only exception to the hot global rule last year and even that chill was outweighed nationally by
record western
heat, said NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch.

Living in the real
world of a real country I am much more concerned with what the 350 year temperature

Zee News: The global output
of heat - trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on

The
World Meteorological Organization announced on Wednesday, Nov. 25, that 2015 will surpass last year's
record heat and will be the hottest year in history, with no sign
of letting up to not make that dreaded performance.
Record droughts in many areas
of the
world, the loss
of arctic sea ice — what you see is an increasing trend that is superimposed on annual variablity (no bets on what happens next year, but the five - to - ten year average in global temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ocean
heat content — those will increase — and ice sheet volumes, tropical glacier volumes, sea ice extent will decrease.
