Global average temperatures; What do you think will happen over the next couple of decades?

The current decade is the warmest on record.  It is warmer than the 2000s, which were warmer than the 1990s, which were warmer than the 1980s, which were warmer than the 1970s.  There is no reason to expect this trend won't continue forward over the next two decades. The solar output will probably go down a bit with the grand solar minimum expected, but from the calculations I've shown in here before that should not be enough to stop the warming.  It may slow it slightly, but probably not at a statistically significant level.

Hopefully we'll start to get a handle on emissions over the next two decades, but in the meantime things will just keep getting warmer.

Not sure what "imminent cooling" that Daro is talking about.  All the measures of global surface temperature have shown warming over the last 20 years--all of them. No cooling in sight.

Based on the past trends, it appears that slight warming is most likely much to our great luck of being born in such wonder warm times.  

The planet will keep warming

Same as the past   40  years   ,nothing

IDK and climate 'scientists' don't know either.  Global temperatures have risen far more slowly over the last 20 years than they predicted.

Mass extinction. Starvation. Migration wars. Violent weather. These things will increase much more rapidly than is being predicted. 

I didn't say I thought it was good. 

Actually saw the "imminent  cooling" during the last 20 years.

Even the UN leaders admitted to what they termed a "pause" in AGW.

Temperatures go up and down over the centuries and millennia. Nothing terrible happened, happens or will happen. And don't worry about "climate change": that's just what climate does: change! Check out the graph below. It's called "Nature". (source earthobservatory.nasa.gov) Best wishes! 🙂
