#5Not trying to deny anything but with the length of records and a random distribution you’d still expect “hottest year” to happen pretty often. (Somebody please do the statistics)
With a very slightly warming planet it would indeed happen quite often.
In other words… setting records means something, but less than one would expect by default.
The more valid statistic is something like n of the last 30 years have been the warmest on record, or something along those lines.

If you look at the graph of the last 140 years of global average temperatures it definitely does not look random at all.... it just keeps going up https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ContentWOC/images/globalte...

#10After talking about it for thirty, forty years and not doing much more than feeling good about sorting our recycling, we're here at the tipping point.
We need to not be talking about "climate change" anymore.
We are here at "climate collapse".
