It would need to average 0.9C for the rest of the year to attain that, and it's not very likely to do that. Before the El Niño started last year, the anomaly was ~0.8C.<br /><br />But last year's anomaly was 0.86C, and it's a pretty safe bet 2016 will top that substantially.

Surely there are secret EU deathcamps somewhere the Lamestream Media are covering up? Stands to reason...)<br /><br />We really are dealing with not-very-nice people here. And they're all cut from the same grotesque cloth.<br /><br />I'm reminded of the recent RWNJ outrage over the community-funded progressive activist network GetUp!'s highly effective intervention in the federal election just passed, and Cory Bernardi's proposed creation of a 'conservative' - read 'reactionary extremist' - counterweight. As a psychologist pointed out to him, this simply won't work, because your people just aren't like that, Cory. They dignify their pathetic isolation and paranoia as 'rugged individualism' of course. That such broken people often successfully aspire to the heights of money and power, and then cynically conflate their self-interest with the 'national interest', is as succinct an explanation for the current state of the 'civilized' world as you're likely to encounter.billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-969587652598624672016-07-09T09:09:38.520+10:002016-07-09T09:09:38.520+10:00"...concealing the inconvenient truth that in..."...concealing the inconvenient truth that in the past two months global temperatures have plummeted as the el Niño comes to an end"<br /><br />Lord Whatsit in post-Black Knight mode, is down to his last phantom limb.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537772941984056434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-66755776081360085742016-07-09T08:23:04.906+10:002016-07-09T08:23:04.906+10:00It really is sad that there is a whole industry th...It really is sad that there is a whole industry that has grown up with the purpose of publishing, speaking and hosting sites that have one purpose and that is to mislead people and appeal to their more paranoid delusional viewpoint of the world.<br />For the well adjusted in society this is not a problem however there is a subset who take the outpouring seriously.<br />The dog whistle political statements are aimed at these people and that is not healthy for the political outcomes one would expect.<br />As to the article above this man has a lot to answer for and is atypical of the more delusional subset in society.<br />Should he be tolerated?
