As the article says "another day, another dire report...". We really need dire reports, with 'devastating' in the headlines, because folks who venture outdoors don't feel devastated. If they bother to look up actual measurements of global atmospheric temps, they find about 0.25 degree C rise over the thirty year average. "D-d-devastating!" Yes, it's warmer and yes, humans had a role in that... but if you want 'devastating', you need to consider what Congress is going to do when the fear mongers get power again.

"Keeping the average temperature to 2° C (3.6° F) above pre-industrial levels has been declared the bare minimum threshold to stave off the worst effects of climate change."
Ain't gonna happen! But homo sapiens will adapt or go extinct... In the meantime governments will devise ways to take more money from your pocketbook to supposedly remedy the problem; unsuccessfully.
As for Canadian weather, I really appreciate the somewhat warmer winters and wetter summers! And yes, our Liberal government believes a carbon tax (grab) will resolve the issue; total B.S.!

If rational humans want to argue if humans are the cause of warming not I can accept that but I can't get beyond people who either insist that the world is not actually warming or insist a few days of cold weather or a snowstorm is somehow proof global warming is a hoax. Global warming is real and humans are likely a large reason for it but I don't believe it's reversable at this point. Google had some really agressive efforts to try to stop global waming a while back and redirected funding partly based on some research work that concluded the task would essentially be impossible. World population is outgrowing previous WHO projections. It is expected that population growth will level off in developing countries as they modernize but when that happens energy use per person increases to first world levels with it. All official world population projections are operating under the assumption that population growth will slow in developing countries but what if it doesn't? I try to be objective but I think future generations are going to struggle though depletion of the planets resources. Some countries have birth rates at or below replacement but immigration from higher birth rate countries into those countries will ensure population growth in every country in the world for well beyond my lifespan.

Total BS. we have not even reached the warming that existed back a few thousand years ago. The Roman warm times. It was much warmer. we are warming up after the last time the it got cold several hundred years ago. Human caused? No. Climate changes all the time. Everywhere. Everyday.

Ohmigodwereallgonnadieagainagainagain! Let's see, we are not quite halfway to the next ice age, so temps are still climbing as expected. The 3 most data-massaging entities created the data which this study used. And the sun has been hiccupping lately. Yeah, it must be man's fault and all "they" need to take away from us are gasoline, diesel, Jet A, propane, natural gas, butane, coal, charcoal, wood, and nuclear power. Welcome to the New 7th Century, folks. Islamic and African countries will be very much at home while we regress to their normal state. How progressive is that?

Great idea for a report - because now we can do something about it!. Like stop reproducing - that's an easily achievable first step!
Then, maybe we can stop moving around, stop staying warm, and stop cooking - problem solved!!
How hard was that?

One good size volcano eruption somewhere on earth and all those temperature stats will be useless .

Another load of BS so the white coat boys can re-load their "research" coffers. I guess they couldn't find the polar bear pic on a block of ice, I miss that.

Of course, the WMO would NEVER issue a self-aggrandizing, biased report.
Or would they?

As this report has included the end portion of ''The Little Ice Age'' where temperatures were exceptionally low, its pretty well meaningless. The biggest source of heat, is probably all the hot air produced, by the number of committees endlessly discussing it. As the Earth is presently in an Ice Age, that started something like 30 million years ago, and still has at least that long to go, any ''warming'' is trivial, and only a relative term, which has no value.
