The IPCC chart below forecast 2040 as the year when the earth average temperature would permanently exceed 15.26 C, 1.50 C above the pre-industrial temperature of 13.76 C. However, the three authorities, NASA, CRU East Anglia and British Met Office had recorded a temperature of 59.20 F (15.11 C) in 1926, 100 years ago! NASA recorded it’s highest global temperature in 1990 at 15.45 C (59.81 F) after both CRU East Anglia and British Meteorology Office had posted similar world average temperatures at 59.62 F (15.34 C) two years earlier in 1988.

The annual global temperature at 15.26 C has occurred regularly since 1926.      The WMO do no research on the subject receive about $8 Billion US annually.
