This is the 26th edition of the annual assessment
now known as State of the Climate. The year 2015
saw the toppling of several symbolic mileposts: notably,
it was 1.0°C warmer than preindustrial times,
and the Mauna Loa observatory recorded its first
annual mean carbon dioxide concentration greater
than 400 ppm. Beyond these more recognizable
markers, changes seen in recent decades continued.
