“The annual change from year to year can bounce up and down.
Basing future predictions a yearly change is so incredibly stupid that this cannot possibly be a sincere thought.
This is getting ridiculous. The WaPo is just reporting the news
Y'all do know that NASA and NOAA do some manipulating with temperature numbers to get that massive -0.09 degree temperature change from 2016 to 2017?

That's why I don't believe NASA cause everyone knows the earth is flat.
Do the scientists eat cereal for breakfast? God no!
They do this to make a more accurate estimation of the average global surface temperature

You mean to say that scientists have algorithms for removing known causes of variation to compensate for things like cities creating local heat islands? They do this to make a more accurate estimation of the average global surface temperature, which is not directly measured?

"If it was really a bull market, it would go up every day" says Onvacation. "It isn't; so that proves beyond doubt that pundits are lying: there is no bull market."

WaPo reports that global warming has peaked.
The average temp is what matters - the temp year round, 24 hrs a day, all averaged.
Few people pay close enough attention to spot these tricks, and many more just aren't even the least bit scientifically minded, so they believe it because "its science", but cant see that it's bad science.
No. They lower old temperature readings and raise newer temperature readings and even then they can only squeeze hundredths of a degree of warming.
Why don't they provide the unaltered data alongside the manipulated data?
The temp increase is observed with data around airports or with data excluding airports. They've found it with or without mountaintop data. They've found it with and without ocean data.
This should put to rest the idea that the world is actually cooling rather than warming.

From the article
"NASA found that 2017 was 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (.9 degrees Celsius) above the average temperature from 1951 through 1980. 2016 was .99 degrees Celsius higher, and 2015 just .86 degrees Celsius higher, according to the agency."
So in 2015 the worlds temp was about 57.86 degrees Celsius. In 2016 it went up to 57.99 and now we are back to 57.9 plus or minus 0.08 degrees celsius. The last three years are in a dead heat for hottest year EVER!
I fear we are entering a period of deep cold. When the groundhog comes out we will know for sure but I think it may be cold for months to come.
