2018 Will Be 3rd or 4th Warmest year Ever
...following on the heels of three consecutive warmest years ever.
A reminder:
And, here are a few details over which we may quibble without being ignorant of facts or completely denying the obvious warming trend.

State of the climate: 2018 set to be fourth warmest year despite cooler start - Red, Green, and Blue
Sounds like this global warming thing might be real after all.
Ya think?
You know what? World temperatures have been on a warming trend
since the current instrument record started. Granted temperatures
declined from 1880 to 1910, and similarly declined from 1945 to
1975, but mostly it's increased over all that time about a degree.
So any year stands a good chance of being the warmest ever. It's
sort of like climbing a mountain, you will be the highest you've ever
been on the trek most every step you take. The issue is how high the
mountain and how big the steps. Sooner or later the temperature will
stop going up and the hiker will reach the summit.
What you guys need to do is demonstrate why a warmer world is a
looming catastrophic disaster and why I need to change my life-style.
In my book a warmer world with more rain and CO2 augmented food
production is a good thing. The IPCC tells us that the warming is at
night, in the winter and in the higher latitudes. Day time, summer
time and in the tropics, not so much.
You guys also need to stop the B.S. Antarctica really isn't melting,
methane really isn't 86 times more powerful than CO2, the polar
bears aren't going extinct, sea level isn't going up meters by 2100,
claiming 100 year old data needs correction, etc. The propaganda
machine from your side of the coin needs to stop.
