'Climate Emergency'

Guardian UK: April breaks global temperature record, marking seven months of new highs - Latest monthly figures add to string of recent temperature records and all but assure 2016 will be hottest year on record
It makes three months in a row that the monthly record has been broken by the largest margin ever, and seven months in a row that are at least 1C above the 1951-80 mean for that month. When the string of record-smashing months started in February, scientists began talking about a “climate emergency”.

Were now going up the steep rise on Dr. Michael Mann's famous Hockey stick graph of climate change. Up till recently we were on the broad bottom part of the curve. Now however it appears we've started up the steep rise of the sticks handle and that could be harrowing to say the least. Rapid change is built into this part of the equation going forward.

And yet, there are still the hardcore deniers that throw this information into the heap without even the slightest thought. Nature doesn't care though, we can think anything we want, we all get the same result.
