Re: NOAA Says 2015 Was Second Hottest Year On Record In U.S.
At the United Nations' climate summit in Paris last month, nearly 200 countries agreed to take steps to fight climate change, but whether their actions will achieve a goal of restraining a rise in temperatures to "well below" 2 C (3.6 F) above pre-industrial levels is uncertain.
Though 2015 was the 19th straight year that the annual average temperature exceeded the 20th century average, according to NOAA, climate change has received scant attention on the presidential campaign trail among the Republican candidates.

The whole world is on board except for ONE national party...on the entire planet. The GOP is still dragging their knuckles for their oil company puppeteers.
