What is the average global temperature now? Climate scientists prefer to combine short-term weather records into long-term periods (typically 30 years) when they analyze climate, including global averages. Today's global temperature is typically measured by how it compares to one of these past long-term periods. For example, the average annual temperature for the globe between 1951 and 1980 was around 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius).

Unlike other types of deeds, a warranty deed provides full guarantee that the paper title is good, marketable title.
