Temperature data “The globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature data.. show a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06]°C, over the period 1880–2012” IPCC AR5 WG Global Temperature Anomaly IPCC AR5 WG1 Figure SPM.1

Warming clearly not related to 11- year solar “sun spot” cycle (in red)

Just one reason why ~97% of climate scientists (out of >4,000 surveyed) agree that today’s heating of the earth is human-caused, primarily from burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation. Doran & Zimmerman, 2009; Anderegg et al. 2010, PNAS.

Global Climate Change Regional Changes: Land areas warm more than ocean areas, so Africa warms more than the global average IPCC, AR5, 2014

TEMPERATURE Climate Variability and Change

'Mega-heatwaves' such as the 2003 and 2010 events broke the 500-yr long seasonal temperature records over 50% of Europe. Probability of 'mega- heatwaves’ will increase by a factor of 5 to 10 within the next 40 years.
