For those with lives, and things to do other than read the full article:

The supposed difference in the average 2016 temperature relative to that in 2015 (a number the NY Times refused to report) was 0.01 degree.

The most optimistic value for the margin of error in these values was at best 0.1 degree. The actual margin of error was most likely at least twice that, perhaps much higher (I have relatives in the enviro testing business, and they don’t trust their numbers - obtained under highly controlled conditions - to better than +/- one degree).

So in other words the average global temperature in 2016 was essentially the same as that in 2015.

And it’s the global warming skeptics who are anti-science.

Even despite more CO2 produced by man- weird- I thought CO2 caused warming- so the NYT actually just provedCO2 doesn’t drive temperatures because nothing changed despite a rise in CO2 (I’m sure they will have some lame excuse why it didn’t rise a large amount)

Later in the article the author points out that, according to a real weather expert, Roy Spencer, 2016 was statistically indistinguishable from 1998 (according to average world temperature). This means that there has now been no "global warming" in 18 years, making obvious the BIG LIE.
