Report: Global temperature hike already halfway to 'two degree warming' limit

(Part)
(CNN)Looks like Earth is already halfway to the danger zone.

Global data from NOAA released Thursday shows that the average temperature across the entire planet for the month of October was a record shattering 0.98 degrees Celsius (1.76 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than average for the month of October -- making it the highest average temperature reached compared to normal in Earth's historical record.
