on January 21: 鈥淒ata released on Wednesday by the UK Met Office shows the average global temperature in 2015 was 0.75掳C higher than the long-term average between 1961 and 1990, much higher than the 0.57掳C in 2014, which itself was a record.
The article said the Met Office expected this year to set a new record, meaning the global temperature records will have been broken for three years running.
The Guardian said: 鈥淓xperts warned that the record-breaking heat shows global warming is driving the world's climate into 'uncharted territory' and that it showed the urgency of implementing the carbon-cutting pledges made by the world's governments in Paris in December.
鈥淗eatwaves have scorched China, Russia, Australia, the Middle East and parts of South America in the last two years, while climate change made the UK's record December rainfall, which caused devastating floods, 50-75% more likely.鈥
