It's mixed. Some months are lower than 1998, some months are higher (in the UAH data set, which doesn't show surface temperatures). There have been other times of apparently falling temperatures but the trend continues up.

Not "expected" - only "possible" but unlikely (at this stage). No need to exaggerate what is already a crisis.
Now we've had 20 of the first 24 days of this month which have seen a record surface temperature for those days of a year. We're in a la Nina and temperature is in record territory. I'm hoping climate scientists will be able to explain this soon.
Yup, fossil fuels are dirtier. Few would argue otherwise. There is no such thing as a clean energy economy.

Just to be clear. Renewable energy is not going to save the planet.
#Solar PV technology via an ultra-thin material can be applied to “almost any building” and deliver over 27% conversion efficiency.
New thin-film perovskite material uses multi-junction approach to generate increasing amounts of solar electricity without the need for silicon-based solar modules.

They may want to do it quickly, @DoctorVive , but what people want doesn't necessarily relate to what's possible or how those wants may change if the consequences of removing all FFs are known (though that is definitely needed for all life on this planet).
According a recent @UN poll, 72% of the world's people want us to move away from fossil fuels quickly.
As @SelwinHart points out to @fionaharvey, the perception that there's a climate backlash (belied by elections in France & the UK) is disinformation stoked by industry.

"the temperature between 1850 and 1900 was 0.24C lower than had previously been estimated"

"– it will be clear that for all practical purposes the 1.5°C global warming level has been reached in the mid-2020s"
Jump of global temperature in past year is a combination of aerosol-induced warming over a few years and a half-baked El Nino. There is no need for new climate physics to understand the warming. El Nino + next La Nina mean may approach 1.5°C. See Hopium - mailchi.mp/caa/global-warmin…
But you're making a claim for which there is no evidence. In fact, the only evidence we have, that is related to your claim, shows that your claim is totally without merit and that what I claimed has merit.

It seems that @peterrhague has blocked me for explaining why his claim that we aren't even close to the carrying capacity of the solar system is wrong.
