The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have increased to levels
unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years.

Multiple Lines of Evidence for Climate Change : Warming atmosphere & ocean, snow and ice melting, sea
level rising , GHG increasing, ……, all reflect consistent warming trend.
Updated Monitoring on changes in global mean temperature and ocean heat content
Recent observations confirm the warming trend continues!
More than 90% of the energy stored in the ocean!

GMST change for the end of the 21st century is likely to exceed 1.5°C relative to 1850-1900 for all RCPs except under mitigation scenario with very low forcing level.
