" over the last five years, several independent assessments have placed the sensitivity at about 1°C (1.8°F)"


We've already been above 1 degree, and we're just over 40% of the way to doubling pre-industrial levels. Feb.'16 was 1.51 degrees above pre-industrial.


2016 Temperatures Measure 1.2 Degrees C Above Pre-Industrial Levels

Nov 14, 2016 - This year is on track to become the hottest year on record, with global temperatures measuring 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 F) above pre-industrial

During 2018, 11 of 12 monthly global land and ocean temperature departures from average ranked among the five warmest for their respective months, giving way to the fourth warmest year in NOAA's 139-year record. The years 2015–2017 each had a global temperature departure from average that was more than 1.0°C (1.8°F) above the 1880–1900 average, which is a period that is commonly used to represent the pre-industrial conditions. However, 2018 was just shy of reaching the 1.0°C (1.8°F) mark at 0.97°C (1.75°F).The year began with a La Niña episode present across the tropical Pacific Ocean, transitioning to ENSO-neutral by April 2018.

When tracking President Trump’s job approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles the numbers on a full-month basis, and the results for Trump’s presidency can be seen in the graphics below.

The president earned a monthly job approval of 49% in February, rebounding five points from January and recapturing the high ground he held for most of 2018. In January, Trump’s job approval had fallen to its lowest level in a year, but it has turned around since his well-received State of the Union address. Fifty percent (50%) still disapproved of his job performance last month, but that’s down from 55% in January.

Daily tracking results are collected via telephone and online surveys of 500 likely voters per night. The monthly numbers in this article are based on approximately 10,000 interviews each month with likely voters. The margin of sampling error is less than +/- 1 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.
