There are some very interesting world heat maps here, showing how the temperature around the world is expected to rise in 10 year steps from 1995 to 2095. It actually shows two maps for each one - the left hand side shows what happens if we do nothing - with the average global temperature rising by 4C by 2100. The map on the right shows what happens if emissions peak in 2015 then reduce, resulting in average global temperatures rising by ‘just’ 2C by 2100.

The UK Met Office have said that carbon emissions must peak by 2020 if temperatures are to rise by no more than 2C. What is quite worrying is that even if they peak in 2020, there is still a 50% chance that the temperature rise will be above 2C. If they peak later than 2020, even just a few years later, the odds of staying below a 2C increase quickly get much worse. This shows just how urgent and serious the situation now is.

The World Meteorlogical Organization and the UK Met Office have said that this decade (the years since 2000) has been the warmest decade since instrumental records began in 1850. On average, this decade has been 0.18C warmer than the 1990’s, and about 0.44C above the long-term average.

Also, 2009 looks likely to be the 5th warmest year on record.
