Earth last year wasn't quite as hot as 2016's record-shattering mark, but it ranked second or third, depending on who was counting.
Either way, scientists say it showed a clear signal of man-made global warming because it was the hottest year they've seen without an El Nino boosting temperatures naturally.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United Kingdom's meteorological office on Thursday announced that 2017 was the third hottest year on record. At the same time, NASA and researchers from a nonprofit in Berkeley, California, called it the second.
The agencies slightly differ because of how much they count an overheating Arctic, where there are gaps in the data.

Haven't you heard? Cold weather is proof of Global Warming.
All weather is proof of Global Warming.
The Sun is the major source of heat on the surface of the Earth. Check solar variations before saying stupid things about climate “change.”

How queer, earlier ‘they’ were saying 2017 was the hottest year on record.
Now it’s warming??? WTF!

yep... and it will continue to do so... for as long as they keep manipulating the data.
For decades they have fudged the numbers to proclaim the last year the “hottest” on record. The trend must really be against them to finally have to admit 2017 was not the “hottest.”
Earthquakes are proof of global warming
So is arson in California forests
So now they say ‘one of the hottest’ or ‘hottest ever without a nino/nina assist...’
They used an Anal Thermometer to get the temps
The word "women" is a sexist term of enslavement by the patriarchy.
It is hard to keep up with. Here is a handy chart.

Don’t worry in a few years frozen pipe will be a dim memory and cold water will be a luxury when the ambient air temperature begins to approach that of Venus on a winter day, say 550-600F ...
Gaps in the data, huh? In other words room to fudge the results.
