Default 14/15 of the world's warmest years on record have occurred since 2000

GW continues, of course.

"It is virtually certain that 2014 will go down in history as the globe's warmest year on record since instrumental records began in 1880. In a telling sign of global warming, 14 out of the 15 warmest years have all occurred since the year 2000."

However, not a single one of the 10 weather extremes/disasters shown in the report can be attributed to GW with certainty and no-one can say that the recent warming has definitely been caused by increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.

There's the difficulty that policymakers and scientists face to convince the world and the there's the chink of light that deniers cling on to. However, climate deniers are highly likely to be wrong, the vast majority of scientists are very likely to be right and CO2 will be found to have been the major cause of the warming in years to come. Future generations are very likely to think us crazy and selfish, should we do nothing.

Time to act in 2015. For the sake of people yet to come.
