Every year is reported as the hottest year on record.
We haven't stopped adding greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere so there is more heat-trapping CO2 in the air.
If the hypothesis of man-made global warming is true, every year with increasing CO2 should mean each year should be warmer.
How is 2018 not the hottest year on record?
I bring this up because every January every MSM outlet tells us the previous year was the warmest year on record and I haven't heard that reported this year.
“The year 2018 is likely to have been the fourth warmest year on record”
Since 2014. Did these assholes figure out a way to take the rectal temperature of the globe? Inserted via Chicago?
It’s an agenda driven lie.
Yet Satellite data, the most accurate measure, show no warming for over 20 years.
Very telling. They did indeed always announce the hottest year on record, but they had to resort to statistics games to do it, sometimes getting within 1/100 of a degree.
The fact they've given up means the Pause is real and not even distorted statistics can hide it.
“Fourth Warmest on Record”
On record ... So, when did official “records” of the Earth’s “average” temperature begin? BTW, on what basis is any temperature considered the “norm” for Earth?
The recording of temperatures “began officially in February 1870. It had begun on an ad hoc basis in the late 1700s. The National Weather Service has its beginnings in the early history of the United States.”
Gee, do ya think Earth’s climate “record” began long before the “official” date of recorded climate data?
The disingenuous ass wipes, who propagate this “global warming / climate change” propaganda, are dependent upon the general ignorance of the population, in regards to weather statistics and the geologically-revealed history of the Earth’s climate. They foist this garbage, without refute or impeachment, because most people have neither the time or the inclination to do even rudimentary historical research or even basic fact checking.
Define normal.
Lie, lie, lie.
Glaciers are growing around the world.
Arctic sea ice is practically at record levels.
It’s snowing in places where snow has not been seen in cultural memory.
Springlike conditions are beginning to appear in some of the harshest desert areas.
Winters are becoming increasingly brutal.
Crops are failing due to unseasonably cold temperatures.
These are all observed phenomena that have been documented around the planet in recent years. Such observations fly in the face of high temperature claims being made by the AGW lobby.
Both cannot be true. One or the other is a lie. Guess which one I believe is true?
I call bs.
I want to know whre evey recoding device is and how often they are calibrated and by whom.
Have they taken the ones by hot air exhaust vents and moved them away, yet?
Lying scum.

Why that word? Because the calculation is a statistical exercise, and the margins are so narrow.
The warmest year on record for the Earth’s land and oceans was 2016 -- by a long shot,
The week after this was released, the other shoe dropped by the climate scientists who made the announcement - that the percentage chance of this being true was on the order of 37%.
CO2 is still only 345 ten-thousandths of one percent of the atmosphere. That is .0345 of 1%.
The rest of the air we breathe is 78% Nitrogen. 21% Oxygen and 1% of the rest of the gases. Of which CO2 is the percentage shown above.
How does one measure the temperature of the earth? Of a year? Stop and consider.
Do this exercise, where you merely seek to measure the temperature of a SINGLE SPOT in your house at a single instant in time:
1. Get two mercury thermometers, two digital thermometers, and two curled metal ring thermometers.
2. Hang them together in a SINGLE LOCATION inside your house, next to your thermostat with its own temperature reading.
3. Wait a day to allow the devices to settle.
4. Read the temperature of all seven devices. Be as careful as possible, and read to a precision of a single decimal place.
5. Observe that your thermometers do not (I suspect) agree to a precision of a single decimal digit, and likely not even to the single degree digit.
6. Ask yourself: how does science measure the “temperature of the earth” and do so over spans of year-to-year and over decades. Ask yourself how many instruments, types of instruments, locations of measurement, degradation of the single instruments, times of day, that are involved in measuring the temperature “of the earth” over decades in order to get changes claimed in the single decimal place values.
Tell ya what, if you can find the data, which is tough, see where the temperatures were monitored in 2018 and compare that to ten years earlier. If you influence the collection of data, you influence the outcome every time.
I know you can measure the temperature in Philadelphia (the most recent record high our local weather girl mentioned for a few days ago was set back in 1916 - quite a trend) and in London and in Delhi and in Moscow - but exactly how and where do you measure the “global temperature” - without a lot of shaky assumptions and approximations......
Seemed fairly normal here in AZ
Solar and volcanic activity can play a role.
