Raiderup, forced to choose between the opinion of global warming Deniers and peer reviewed, cold hard scientific research I think I'll avoid stick with 99.7% of the World's credible scientists:

World Meteorological Organisation says.
Preliminary agency figures show that for the first 10 months of 2015, average sea and land surface temperatures were 0.73 degrees above the 1961-90 average of 14 degrees. They were about 1 degree warmer than the 1850-1899 period used as a proxy for the pre-industrial era.
The past five years were also the hottest on record, beating the previous five years, and showing "a continued sustained warming trend" since the mid-1970s. (See chart below.)
"This is all bad news for the planet," WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud said, just days before delegates from almost 200 nations would gather in Paris to negotiate a new climate treaty to limit carbon emissions.
"We have the knowledge and the tools to act. We have a choice," Mr Jarraud said. "Future generations will not." ..."

IMO only those with their heads in the sand can deny that average temperatures have increased by ~7% since 1850!
