“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”

Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

It’s 3D printing… All those people getting cancer giving resins at home for 3D figurines and other useless items. That must be a large blip in some toxic item polluting the environment right now.

werefreeatlast,

I love 3d printing… It sucks that laws should probably regulate that toxic shit.

silence7,

None of that is a greenhouse gas.

Jumi,

We will be a footnote in Earth’s history, a dead branch on the tree of evolution

intrepid,

Our species is like a nuclear reactor that went out of control.

Jumi,

I like that description

mojofrododojo,

we’re all the frogs in god’s slowly boiling kettle.

Fortunately Exxon et al made STELLAR profits for damn near a century, it only cost us the one viable ecosystem we have in the entire known universe.

Tsk. Well profits have to be made, it’s capitalism. Can’t argue with that.

Scrof,

The beginning of the end, obviously. Dinosaurs 2.0 shall inherit the Earth since they’re fine with a shitton of CO2 in the atmosphere and warmer everything.

Climate change.

KISSmyOSFeddit,

If you read the article, climate change + El Nino + reduced aerosols in the atmosphere + a volcano eruption + a yet unknown factor, which the article is about.

homesweethomeMrL,

Fair, and bonus points for RTFA.

That said - we know what it’s about. That graph isn’t new. We did this last year too.

Yes but all of those other items are not new, and thus not really responsible.

TropicalDingdong,

Instead of the bathwater cooling off after the tubs been filled, its heating up. We don’t understand why.
