49:00 That speech and the baseless (no sources !) claims of Stven Hayward have not aged well (on the other hand the goal is to delay action or to not have any top down government action - which would be necessary in order to contain the warming. It is the same tactic as was used by the tabacco lobby and their mouthpieces: delay, delay ... fast forward to 2018: that agenda of the industry and deniers has been "successful" so far).
The person in the audience asking for the base of Hayward's claim that 2014 was not going to be exceptionally hot, was right of course. Hayward gave a flippant answer, no sources, not details.
2014 indeed turned out to be an exceptionally hot year - then the hottest year on record - until 2015 !
The hottest 4 years on record are 2015 - 2017 - all 4 of them but not in that order - 2016 was the hottest so far,
2018 is likely to become the 4th hottest, only 6 - 7 weeks to go.
1) 2016 anomaly 1,69
2) 2015 1,62
3) 2017 1,51 and
4) 2014 1,33
the anomaly is in degree F - that is huge it means the global average temperature incl. the oceans - these huge bodies of water can store a lot of heat
The order of the 10 hottest years (global average !!) ever on record
2016, 2015, 2017, 2014, 2010, 2005, 2013, 2009, 1998 *, 2007
* for some time 1998 was very popular with the deniers. They cherrypicked it as start of the dataset to "prove" that the warming had stopped. A warming trend is harder to make out (against statistical noise and fluctuations) if you put an exceptionally hot year at the beginning - and then 1998 was the hottest year on record so far.
