The big scary scenario is 3 degrees c. We are 30% there.
"The most recent era in which the Earth was believed to have experienced temperatures of 3 C above pre-Industrial levels was the Pliocene Epoch ? around 3 million years ago ? according to Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA?s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
?At that time, there was almost no ice anywhere. The sea level was 20 meters (65 feet) or so higher, and forests went to the edge of the Arctic Ocean where there is now tundra,? Schmidt said."

I think that what he is trying to say, is that a theory is a hypothesis supported by facts and evidence. There are a number of theories throughout history, that were once considered as accepted by mainstream science, that have been superseded as the evidence that once supported the theory was deemed incomplete or obsolete.Rich"at"rebel-ads.com

I agree with you, but the article touches on this. They say
"And it's unlikely any last minute freeze will cut this winter's record down to size. Winter this year ends on March 20, a date that is fast approaching. "
Hopefully it will get really cold before March 20th to help squash this report a little, but its unlikely.
I live in Montreal Canada and winter this year has been almost non existent. It usually snows in late October but this year we didn't get our first snow until just after Christmas. Today only about 10 weeks later it is already +8 celsius (46 Fahrenheit) and tomorrow it will be 13c / 55f. As Dynamo accurately pointed out this is mostly due to El Niño, Climate change is worsening the effects. They are already predicting that this summer will be the hottest and driest on record.

You mean the same National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that routinely "adjusts" temperature data to exaggerate warming? Their favourite trick is to take data from the past and adjust it downwards so the current temps seem warmer than they really are. Or in some cases they just cherry pick their data and only show the stuff that feeds the narrative.
Example: NOAA Radiosonde Data Shows No Warming For 58 Years
Of the two graphs spliced together in the image above the one on the right is one that the NOAA just released under the narrative of "warmest ever". The one on the left includes data that they excluded from their release. Hmmmmm, I wonder why?
And how about that ocean "acidification" scare you always bleat on about:
How Scientists Are Exaggerating the Threat of Ocean Acidification
An ?inherent bias? in scientific journals in favour of more calamitous predictions has excluded research showing that marine creatures are not damaged by ocean acidification, which is caused by the sea absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [?]
[A review of the science] found that many studies had used flawed methods, subjecting marine creatures to sudden increases in carbon dioxide that would never be experienced in real life.
?In some cases it was levels far beyond what would ever be reached even if we burnt every molecule of carbon on the planet,? Howard Browman, the editor of ICES Journal of Marine Science, who oversaw the review, said. He added that this had distracted attention from more urgent threats to reefs such as agricultural pollution, overfishing and tourism.
You place so much blind faith in government and scientists that prop up your pet beliefs and causes. Because of you, people like you and the "climate scientists" you blindly follow, science is at risk of becoming irrelevant as argued in this essay:
Global Warming and the Irrelevance of Science
In many fields, governments have a monopoly on the support of scientific research. Ideally, they support the science because they believe objective research to be valuable.
Unfortunately, as anticipated by Eisenhower in his farewell speech from January 17, 1961 (the one that also warned of the military-industrial complex), ?Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.? Under these circumstances, when the government wants a particular scientific outcome the ideal arrangement is vulnerable. However, as I hope to show, the problem is not simply bias.
Rather, the powers that be invent the narrative independently of the views of even cooperating scientists. It is, in this sense, that the science becomes irrelevant. This was certainly the case in the first half of the twentieth century, where we just have to look at Lysenkoism [1] in the former Soviet Union, Social Darwinism, and Eugenics throughout the western world [2], as well as, in the 1960s, the unfounded demonization of DDT [3]. Each phenomenon led to millions of deaths. And, in each case, the scientific community was essentially paralyzed, if not actually complicit.
[...]
Besides all of that what if increasing CO2 and warming is actually a good thing? In the midst of all of this supposed doom the earth is greening, extreme weather is down, polar bears are thriving, growing seasons are extended and life is more pleasant.
The real harm to people and the planet is coming from all of the time, money and effort spent, and wasted, on trying to reduce and mitigate CO2.

I'm pretty sure that all of us EXCEPT Mark Prince studied history in school.
We were all taught that the Earth has warmed and cooled over and over again throughout time.
It's amazing that anyone is falling for the scam of "man-made" climate change.
The "Little Ice Age" ended in the 1860's. The Earth is NATURALLY warming up a bit from that.
And again to be very clear: The Average Global Temperature has only risen 0.85 Degrees Celsius since 1880
That's all.
And also to be very clear: EVERY prediction that has been made about this since the 1970's has been COMPLETELY WRONG.

Ok braniac. Answer me this.
When cars burn off gas the gas rises up into the sky, eventually into outer space and into the sun. Tell me what happens when gasoline hits fire? Sun/fire gas/sun
Now think about billions of cars burning fuel sending gas to the sun. Imagine the heat increase. You are going to tell me billions of cars (man made) pollution doesnt cause the temp to heat up? Thats ridiculous!Comment

OMG! I didn't consider that! We are literally making the sun hotter with our excess space gas!
Get Mark Prince on this immediately!
This is a great new revenue stream for Al Gore!-Robbie

Hey Mark lets not give these big business oil burning loving idiots an inch.
To me its clear El Niño is made up by the oil companies as a trick to try to convince the sheep that weather patterns happen naturally.
Me and you arent sheep like these other idiots on here. I'm with you the entire way buddy!Comment
