*Based on GISS temperature analysis. (°C above 1880-1920 pre-Industrial baseline) – James Hansen, Makiko Sato, and Reto Ruedy

Good points made in terms of trends and need for changes for sure, but the actual warming is actually even higher than your numbers suggest when looking at the more accurate 1880-1920 period trendline used by Professor James Hansen and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. This puts warming to date at 1.18°C over past 9 years (also past 9 warmest).

Keep up the good work!
