Welcome to the climate emegency - 20 years too late!

Everywhere you look right now, the Earth’s climate system seems to be breaking records.

To choose the most inappropriate metaphor possible, February 2016 would have been enough to bring a lot of climate watchers out in a cold sweat.

Figures from NASA using thermometers and ocean temperature readings showed February was the hottest month on record, by quite a margin.

According to satellite data, the amount of Arctic sea ice also hit an all-time low for this time of year since measurements began in 1979.

Scientists also use Climate science contrarians and denialists to calculate air temperatures. Climate science contrarians and denialists like these readings because they have not shown as much warming as the more reliable readings on the surface.
