James Hansen Year-End Blog: Global Average Temperatures We Expect Over Next Couple Years
My biggest climate hero, James Hansen posted a prediction for global average temperature expected over the next few years, namely 1.7 C in 2027.
I project that we will likely pass 2 degrees C by 2032 or 2032. So much for Paris targets, they will soon only be seen in the rear-view mirror.
To me, James Hansen is a climate rock star, on par with Bob Dylan and the Beatles...
Happy Holidays to you and yours...

Global Temperature in 2025, 2026, 2027
18 December 2025
James Hansen, Pushker Kharecha, Dylan Morgan and Jasen Vest
Abstract. Global temperature in 2025 declined 0.1°C from its El Nino-spurred maximum
in 2024, making 2025 the second warmest year. The 2023-2025 mean is +1.5°C relative
to 1880-1920. The 12-month running-mean temperature should decline for the next few
months, reaching a minimum about +1.4°C. Later in 2026, we expect the 12-month
running-mean temperature to begin to rise, as dynamical models show development of an
El Nino. We project a global temperature record of +1.7°C in 2027, which will provide
further confirmation of the recent global warming acceleration.
