Obviously there's a lot of 2018 left, but data so far suggest that it's on pace to be the fourth-warmest year, globally, in more than a century of reliable global temperature readings.
The three warmest years? The three before this one.

So you're saying this year is cooler than the last three? That means GLOBAL COOLING--better stock up on parkas!
#FakeNews everyone knows scientist lie about everything including climate and the shape of the earth.
Fake news!
IF the earth is curved, why can I see Chicago from Michigan City, Indiana!?

Exactly, another proof that the earth is not a globe.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO.......you do realize that the temp. models are fixed numbers cooked up for political reasons.
Most of the scientists that are setting temp guages are putting them in abnormally hot areas. You can find them in urban areas, edges of airport runways etc.......
Also technology and what we use to measure this is different then 100 years ago......you gonna rely on what technology we used back in 1880 on this?

No, I have no reason to think that's true. And, considering the real-world effects that we've seen over the last few years--y'know, people dying and whatnot--I have reason to think it's false.

Within the limits of scientific measurement, yeah--that's why we generally don't go back *farther* than 1880.
And for the second point I've quoted, let's look at the summary by "Fat Hurts":
The scientific community overwhelmingly accepts anthropogenic global warming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...ate_changeGiven that fact, there are three possibilities:
1) The scientific community is made up of stupid people.
2) The scientific community is engaged in a global conspiracy.
3) The scientific community is made up of smart people who know how to do their jobs and are therefore very likely to be correct.
The suggestion that climate scientists just aren't smart enough to account for where they place temperature "gauges" would come under FH's point #1, I guess. Well played!
A century is less than the rounding error in geological terms.

I'm sure the satirical aspect of this will be lost on the deniers...
GENEVA—Saying the time to act has come and gone, a group of researchers from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned Tuesday that any hope for the future of humanity now hinges on the possibility that scientists like themselves are simply making all of this up. “After reviewing our climate models and projections of worldwide CO2 emissions, we have come to the conclusion that the only scenario in which the human race survives is if our thousands upon thousands of meticulous empirical studies on climate change turn out to be something we’ve been lying about all along,” said climate scientist Philip Vanderwall, who stated that unless the entire scientific community has spent the past 50 years falsifying reams of data as part of a coordinated disinformation campaign to sabotage the global economy, the world’s low-lying coastal regions are as good as done for.

The Earth is really, really old. Therefore it cannot be true that human activity is seriously warming the planet.

Well, we had a good run.
Reading threads like this makes me feel a lot better about myself. Thanks guys.

It is very, very difficult to argue with this logic. Thanks for putting this issue to rest.
Is there a way we could get multiple test cases?
Reading the stupidity of replies in this thread, we are doomed.
Unfortunately people feel the need to politicize this issue, so people will deny anything you tell them until they are blue in the face.

About 60 percent of Americans believe climate change is an issue of concern. Most of those who don’t believe it vote republican.
