Hottest year ever, AGAIN....

NASA and NOAA reported Wednesday that 2016 beat the record for hottest year ever ? a record set only in 2015, which itself had crushed the record set in 2014.
?The fact that we?re punching at the ceiling every year now, that is the real indicator that we?re undergoing big changes,? said Deke Arndt, NOAA?s chief of global climate monitoring.
Even the usually staid New York Times warned of significant risks. ?Temperatures are heading toward levels that many experts believe will pose a profound threat to both the natural world and to human civilization,? the paper says.

("Nice Meltdown" says every idiot on GFY who can't think).

Yep. 2016 was 0.01 degrees warmer than 2015.

One one hundredth of a degree. With a very strong El Nino to boost it.

The margin of error in determining this temperature is 0.1 degrees.

Clearly we are all going to die.

You guys are so fucking dumb.
The Earths temperature rises each year because there are more people, more electricity, more power, more heat etc

I love warm weather.

Wow, "real stats" just because it's in the BBC. They're not biased at all. Nope, not one bit.

The fact of the matter is that all of this hysteria over a barely measurable temperature change is beyond ridiculous.

Meanwhile back in reality there were record crop yields in the US and globally in 2016.

Then there is this:



Fewer major tropical cyclones making landfall in 2016 compared to 2015. Tropical cyclone numbers for 2016 were below the 40-year average.

But it was the hottest year ever dammit! Shouldn't all the land be parched bare while we get thrashed by extreme storms?

Dr. Richard Lindzen sums up the hype nicely:

'To imply that a rise of temperature of a tenth of a degree is proof that the world is coming to an end -- has to take one back to the dark ages.'

'As long as you can get people excited as to whether it's a tenth of a degree warmer or cooler, then you don't have to think, you can assume everyone who is listening to you is an idiot.'

'The whole point is so crazy because the temperature is always going up or down a little. What is astonishing is that in the last 20 years it hasn't done much of anything.'

'What they don't mention is there has been a big El Nino in 2016 and in recent months the temperature has been dropping back into a zero trend level.'

'They are talking about temperature data that is rather uncertain. How do you average? You have to make adjustments. That gives them an opening, you can always adjust it up to a quarter of a degree and you will notice that all of the adjustments that are frequently made, always make the temperature seem steeper. They lower the low, they increase the high. In this case (hottest year) they had to depress the high in 1998 to make this one (2016) look a little larger. But when you are finished you are talking about 2/10ths of degree. No one can feel it.'

'It gives you something to believe in. It?s a religion.'

What data do they cherry pick to claim the average temperature? Where do they measure? How often?

Basically yes, because of the UHI - urban heat island effect. Most rural temperature stations far removed from urban areas show no real temp changes over the past 100 years.
