The Central England temperature record represents the longest series of monthly temperature observations in existence.
Recent temperatures there are over 1.5 degrees Celsius above the 1961-1990 average, and over 2 degrees above preindustrial values.
Chart: UK Met Office.

Why did I post this unsurprising and hardly new fact? Because the fossil lobby group “CO2 Coalition” is spreading deception on this point. Of course the global data as shown below are far more relevant than a local temperature series.

@rahmstorf Wow, that coallition is creepy: It seems to have to be a white male, over 70 to join.

And yes, your numbers are not new nor surprising, yet they don't seem to catch on. I'm not sure how to communicate things, so non experts catch on.

I'm from a cyber security background, and it doesn't work there either.
