The five (globally) WARMEST YEARS ON RECORD are the last five.

Recorded since when?

Not shocking, climate does indeed change.

Now tell us how the evil humans are doing it.

But it was cold in my basement this morning so AGW is a lie!!

Does it really matter? In either case, we can't do anything about it. Even it was man-made or partially man-made

no one is cutting back their oil and gas consumption and it's too late anyway.

My advice: Buy some land in the upper Midwest or Canada. Learn to farm and garden. Make sure you have adequate water supply. Learn to live off the grid. Texas and the southeast are going to be uninhabitable in 100 years. Coastal cities will be flooded. Rocky Mountains will be a desert.

You're welcome in advance.

Pretty sure the article provides that service.

Oh, great, another global warming thread! Well, I'm sure this one will change a *lot* of minds!

okay... wrote:"It’s official: 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record"

2018 was cooler than 2017, which was cooler than 2016 (the hottest year in the instrumented record), so depending on your point of view (short term versus long term), the earth is either cooling (last three years) or warming (instrumented record since 1850).

I say this only to make the point that interpretation of data depends on point of view, and one can present statistics or data in various ways to make various points.

99.9% of the living will be dead in 100 years. Does it matter what’s inhabitable?

Totally fabricated data.

We all know that "climate change" is a hoax invented by China to hurt the US economy.

"NASA scientists" are wrong. Their "record" is so dubious that only global warming alarmists will believe it. Actual data:

UAH Global Temperature Anomaly (2018)

2018 01 +0.26 +0.46 +0.06 -0.11 +0.59 +1.36 +0.43

2018 02 +0.20 +0.25 +0.16 +0.04 +0.92 +1.19 +0.18

2018 03 +0.25 +0.40 +0.10 +0.07 -0.32 -0.33 +0.60

2018 04 +0.21 +0.32 +0.11 -0.12 -0.00 +1.02 +0.69

2018 05 +0.18 +0.41 -0.05 +0.03 +1.93 +0.18 -0.39

2018 06 +0.21 +0.38 +0.04 +0.12 +1.20 +0.83 -0.55

2018 07 +0.32 +0.43 +0.22 +0.29 +0.51 +0.29 +1.37

2018 08 +0.19 +0.22 +0.17 +0.13 +0.07 +0.09 +0.26

2018 09 +0.15 +0.15 +0.14 +0.24 +0.88 +0.21 +0.19

2018 10 +0.22 +0.31 +0.13 +0.34 +0.25 +1.11 +0.39

2018 11 +0.28 +0.27 +0.30 +0.50 -1.13 +0.69 +0.53

2018 12 +0.25 +0.32 +0.19 +0.32 +0.20 +0.65 +1.19

Avg in 2018, +0.227 deg C.

Warmest years to date : 2016 (+0.518 deg C), 1998 (+0.482 deg. C)

All revised to 1981-2010 for anomaly calculation. Statistical relevance is at the 0.1 deg. C. margin

If you are going to start an idiot troll thread, at least have some reliable data to back it up, other than a puff-piece pseudo-science "Panorama" piece.

Also: NOBODY can measure the "speed" of warming/cooling reliably in the past, as there's simply too much error bars and/or averaging taking place.

Likely, about as much as the recent Energy and Commerce Committee & Natural Resources Committee hearings.

No sh!t, Sherlock! Got any other deep thoughts you want to share?

The five (globally) WARMEST YEARS ON RECORD are the last five

More like the "the five warmingest years after NASA fiddles the data from randomly placed and poorly sited thermometers covering a small part of surface area (interpolating thousands of kms to "fit" the hypothesis) are indeed the 5 warmest on record, at least if we also fiddle the past to cool its records and hide the decline."

Sort of like the PR about the Russian hack of the DNC.

Either you believe the narrative, or you don't.

Either way, the next generation will be indoctrinated by "schools" (state indoctrination centers), unless the Internet becomes superior in misinforming them.

The only real delusion is that USA could have anything to do with it, even if we believe NASA (cf. moon hoax).

Fortunately, Hollywood can save us.
