NASA: 2015 Will Be ‘A Scorcher Relative To All Other Years’ On Record

November was so hot globally it’s now over 99.999 percent certain 2015 will be the hottest year on record — driven overwhelmingly by record levels of carbon pollution in the air.

Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS), tweeted out this chart Monday:

2015 will be a scorcher relative to all other years in the record. Even with sampling uncertainty: pic.twitter.com/wvTvzA1GC2

Schmidt also tweeted out “With Nov update to GISTEMP, probability of 2015 being a record year is > 99.999%.”

Scientifically, >99.999 percent certainty is equivalent to the chances that:

• The new Star Wars movie will make money.
• Donald Trump will say something at the Las Vegas GOP debate that will offend somebody.
• At some point in your life, you will experience either death or taxes.
