Record hot years almost certainly caused by man-made warming

Reuters: A record-breaking string of hot years since 2000 is almost certainly a sign of man-made global warming, with vanishingly small chances that it was caused by random, natural swings, a study showed on Monday. Last year was the hottest since records began in the 19th century in a trend that almost all scientists blame on greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels, stoking heat waves, droughts, downpours and rising sea levels. "Recent observed runs of record temperatures are extremely unlikely...
Record hot years near impossible without manmade climate change study

Guardian: The worlds run of record-breaking hottest years is extremely unlikely to have happened without the global warming caused by human activities, according to new calculations. Thirteen of the 15 hottest years in the 150-year-long record occurred between 2000-14 and the researchers found there is a just a 0.01% chance that this happened due to natural variations in the planets climate. 2015 was revealed to have smashed all earlier records on Wednesday, after the new study had been completed,...
Was Hottest Year on Record by Far

Solo: 2015 was Earth's hottest year on record, according to new data released Wednesday by NOAA and NASA. Globally averaged temperatures in 2015 shattered the 2014 record by 0.23 degrees Fahrenheit (0.13 Celsius). And it beat the previous 2014 record by roughly one quarter of a degree, the second-largest year-over-year margin. 2015 was the fourth time that a global temperature record had been set in the 21st century. Once the El Nio cycle began to affect temperatures after mid-year, "October, November,...
As Japan's oil, gas, power use stalls, coal imports hit new record

Reuters: Japan's 2015 oil imports fell to the lowest since 1988, reflecting the country's declining population and low economic growth while at the same time its natural gas imports fell for the first time since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Yet in the same year that the world agreed to combat climate change, Japan's utilities continued to increase the use of the cheapest but dirtiest fossil fuel, ramping up coal imports to a record. Continuing a steady decline since the mid-1990s, Japan's crude oil...
Was 2015 a record wildfire year?

Washington Post: Wildfires scorched a vast swath of the American wilderness last year. But whether the 10 million acres that burned is a record, as the Obama administration recently announced, or an exaggeration, as some environmentalists claim, is a source of heated debate in a long-running fight over how to manage the nations forests. A network of about 30 small environmental groups that view wildfires as a natural part of the ecology and think more should be allowed to burn consider the U.S. Forest Services...
