Not sure whether I need to start one of these threads every month but anyway…

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/15/march-temperature-smashes-100-year-global-record?CMP=soc_567


March temperature smashes 100-year global record
Average global temperature was 1.07C hotter – beating last month’s previous record increase.

The global temperature in March has shattered a century-long record and by the greatest margin yet seen for any month.

February was far above the long-term average globally, driven largely by climate change, and was described by scientists as a “shocker” and signalling “a kind of climate emergency”. But data released by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) shows that March was even hotter.

Compared with the 20th-century average, March was 1.07C hotter across the globe, according to the JMA figures, while February was 1.04C higher. The JMA measurements go back to 1891 and show that every one of the past 11 months has been the hottest ever recorded for that month.

We have already had a few, Aids, Sars, Ebola, but have largely overcome them with medical science. However Gaia now has overpopulation and global warming to help her.

As the planet warms many animals including mosquitoes can move further south, which means any pathogen they carry will be introduced to new regions, generally with higher human populations.

Hey do what you want, but don’t do it around me.
Idleness and dissipation breed apathy.
I sit on my ass all goddamn day,
A misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to
Say what you must, do all you can,
Break all the fucking rules and
Go to Hell with Superman and
Die like a champion, yeah hey!
Hey I don’t know if the billions will survive,
But I’ll believe in God when 1 and 1 are 5.
My moniker is man and I’m rotten to the core.
I’ll tear down the building just to pass through the door.
So do what you must, do all you can,
Break all the fucking rules and
Go to Hell with Superman and
Die like a champion, yeah hey!

I tend to avoid all threads related to global warming, but you may be interested in this aside. I met a chap last night who runs a global warming blog http://blogs.planet3.org/author/nickstokes/ and among other things I asked him about the global warming detected on Mars. He said that it was due to dust storms.

This looks like a reasonable summary of what we know of climate change on Mars:

https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-on-mars.htm

In summary of the summary, dust storms certainly affect the weather on Mars, but we know next to nothing of the climate, and what we do know does not provide evidence of climate change.
