There’s a lot riding on how Earth spins...
Apologies to Neil Hottest. On record. Policy response? Global average temperature record high for September and January–September; Separately, global oceans and global land were both highest on record for these periods of time The September average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.62°F (0.90°C) above the 20th century average&mdash.

I'm with Richard. What IS and REMAINS the single largest policy-challenge of our era, as I have pointed out here, here, here, here here, there and there... Professor Rood.. Each month, the US National Climatic Data Center calculates Earth’s average surface temperature using temperature measurements that cover the Earth’s surface. Then, another average is calculated for each month of the…

Data collected and analysed by the Bureau of Meteorology show that 2014 was Australia's third-warmest year on record while rainfall was near average nationally. Nationally, Australian temperatures have warmed approximately one degree since 1950, and the continued warmth in 2014 adds to this long-term warming trend.

The first five points from the Executive Summary of IPCC's latest regional report for Australasia: The regional climate is changing (very high confidence). Warming is projected to continue through the 21st century (virtually certain) along with other changes in climate. Uncertainty in projected rainfall changes remains large for many parts of Australia and New Zealand, which creates significant challenges for adaptation.…
