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,...
