According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1 Celsius (1.9 Fahrenheit) since 1880. The majority of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15 to 0.20C per decade.

The maps show temperature anomalies in five-year increments since 1880. These are not absolute temperatures, but changes from the norm for each area. The data reflect how much warmer or cooler each region was compared to a base period of 1951-1980. (The global mean surface air temperature for that period was 14C (57F), with an uncertainty of several tenths of a degree.

So, maybe a pragmatic thought is needed rather then a draconian one? We all need to be better a steward on this planet, however to go off the rails is a little much.
