Do we not have an environmental thread here? Maybe we should have.

 

This IPCC report makes interesting reading. Apparently those who keep chirping that we are a small country and can make no meaningful difference to the planet by imposing environmental controls on ourselves, are simply wrong. We have a big impact after all, in spite of our small size.

Dingbatt: Surely the sub heading is wrong? Shouldn’t it be 1880-2015?

 

No - I don't think so.

 

It seems to be standard to use a point of reference where the temperature averages are known to be very accurate - the further you go back the more questionable they probably are, but the individual annual records are displayed in that case as "below average".

 

Similarly, from the Earth.nullschool.net project:

 

ocean surface temperatures and anomaly from daily average (1981-2011) updated daily

 

 

The sea surface temperature anomaly today showing most of our region 1-4 deg C above that 30 year average.

 

If it was possible to show 100 year average, then the pile of crap we're in might probably look even more dire.
