Haha. Somebody noticed it. :)
Wow! So out of the billion or so years the earth has been around the warmest 11 have occured during the last 13 years.
I’m impressed!
Somebody remind me why we refuse to believe the earth’s temperature is rising.
I gotta pull out my photoshop instructions and figure out how to do that.

UK 10 Warmest Years Mean UK Temperature (°C) (anomaly with respect to 1971-2000
Notice how they pulled a fast one there? The "bookends" for the thirty year periods against which the "anomaly" is calculated differ between the "global" and the "UK" figures. The global baseline was for 1960 through 1990, while the UK baseline was for 1970 through 2000. The explanation almost certainly has nothing to do with availability (or lack therof) of data. Maybe I missed it, but I did not see a defensible explanation for either the difference in the selected thirty year period start/end dates or the reason why thirty years was chosen as the period against which to list anomalies.
That difference shows the telltale traces of data "cherry picking", which is a common and devious method employed by people who intend to lie through selective usage of statistics. It opens up inconvenient questions such as whether using the same baseline in both tables would have resulted in the "wrong answer" being apparent in the published data, or whether a thirty year period was chosen (rather than, for example, a fifty year period or a one-hundred-year period) because some other choice of period would have made their presentation less "alarming". After all, manufacturing "alarm" was clearly the intent behind writing and publishing this article.
you forgot Y2K,,,,:)
NASAs results were for the U.S. only. Hadley Centre does their own calculations. Whereas NASA's GISS at least notes what datasets they start with even if they only recently began releasing their code for calculations, Hadley Centre is a black box. Now, the U.S. is only a small portion of the worlds land mass...but only a relatively few places in the world outside of the U.S. have continuous stations for more than 60 years - and an overwhelming portion of those are in cities, and maintained even more poorly than the USHCN. See www.surfacestations.org for examples of how poorly off the U.S. stations are.
So, what were the results from the satellites in 1856, near the end of the little Ice Age?
These are the warmest years because there are just more air conditioning vents and exhaust areas to strategically place the thermostats around. The last few summers in my area have really not been much different in the past 10 years.
All of this BS would be really funny if people weren’t trying to find a reason to tax others to back up the nonsense.
So now the small ozone hole is a problem? WTF!!
Crank up the Freon production and save us all.
Here in Alaska we had a record cold April this year. It was really something and delayed summer considerably but we had a good summer for gardens. The summer before there was no garden summer at all. Right now we expect below zero this weekend, which is entirely normal. In fact it has been entirely normal for the years I have been here except that February it was 40 below the first day of the month and that was the warmest the entire month. That could happen any winter but zero to five below is more typical for the 6-9 months of winter. If there was a warming trend it was 15 years ago, about the same time as that February, and is over.
This started the year my son was born. He must have caused the droughts.
The reason they think it is so warm is because their heads are all in a dark warm place.
BS
When did the record-keeping start, 15 years ago?
What is this on the geological time scale?
An eye-blink?
Less than that?
In Texas 8 years ago it was 100 degrees every day in June.
This year it never hit 100 degrees once.
Correct - in fact it doesn’t get above freezing on the summit of Kilamanjaro.
did they ever move the thermometers away from the outdoor air conditioner units?
