A study at the University of Hawaii finds that “by 2047, plus or minus five years, the average temperatures in each year will be hotter across most parts of the planet than they had been at those locations in any year between 1860 and 2005.” The researchers calculated the expected “climate departure,” the year when a location exceeds its historic temperature range, as 2046 for Beijing, 2047 for New York and Washington D.C., and 2063 for Moscow. Climate departure will come even earlier for tropical areas.
