I put this up with some trepidation as the way things going we'd need to be posting this news on a very frequent basis.
One thing that's worth pointing out again, that when climate scientists point to global heating and temperature records they don't comment on the temperature over land, which of course where people actually live - the rate of warming over land is twice that over the planet as a whole, and is already approaching or at 2.0 deg C over pre-industrial levels. This to me makes the idea that there is anything magical or significant about 1.5 eg C redundant. I don't know why these scientists keep neglecting this important information. In any case, we are already committed to a 1.5 deg C rise globally within a very few years, the next El Niņo after this one will probably achieve this, ie before 2030.
