Summary: Global temperatures are running far above last year’s record-setting level, all but guaranteeing that 2015 will be the hottest year in the historical record. The extreme heat and related climate disturbances mean that delegates to a global climate conference scheduled for Paris in early December will almost certainly be convening as weather-related disasters are unfolding around the world, putting them under greater political pressure to reach an ambitious deal to limit future emissions and slow the temperature increase. Measurements in several of the world’s ocean basins, where surface temperatures are as much as three degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average.
Reaction: This year has been so hot and it just needs to end. This comes to no surprise when I read this article. It’s October at this moment and the daily temperatures range from 83 to 95 degrees. Last year, the warm weather did not last this long into the fall months. Temperatures in summer of 2015 were hot. I have never seen so many sunburns in one summer before. So many people getting blistered from the burns.
World Impact: This is globally affected. The world has suffered from high temperatures. Cities and oceans are overheated and many people are concerned because the human race can not control this.
