Earth on Pace For Fourth-Warmest Year on Record, NOAA and NASA Say (weather.com)
The first nine months of 2018 was the fourth-warmest such period on Earth since record-keeping began in 1880, NOAA and NASA said in their analyses this week. From a report: 2016 had the warmest January-September period, according to NOAA, followed by 2017, then 2015. NASA's analysis agreed the Earth was on pace for its fourth-warmest year. NASA climate modeler Gavin Schmidt said in a tweet that 2018 was "almost guaranteed" to be the fourth-warmest year in its period of record. Record or near-record warmth in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America helped propel the January-September 2018 period to the fourth-warmest on record, NOAA said.
With temperatures 3.35 degrees Fahrenheit (1.86 degrees Celsius) above average, Europe had its record-warmest first nine months of the year, exceeding the previous record set in 2014 by more than 0.23 degrees Fahrenheit (0.13 degrees Celsius). Records in the continent date to 1910. Breaking it down a bit further, Africa had its fifth-warmest year-to-date temperature on record, Asia its sixth-warmest and South America its eighth-warmest, according to NOAA. North America experienced its lowest January-September temperature departure from average since 2013. The only notable pocket of cooler-than-average temperatures in 2018's first nine months was over the far North Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland.

So, how much does the oil and gas industry pay these days to worthless little shitfucks like you to spread their propaganda and lies on the internet ?
Seriously.
Number: WAH! All gonna die!
Dumber: WAH! All gonna die!
DON'T GIVE A SHIT!
Figure out an engineered solution.
Not a gamed solution.
Not a political solution.
Not a social solution.
AN ENGINEERING SOLUTION.
Until then, I don't give a shit.
I refuse to go back to digging up grubs and eating grass while shivering in a cave.

THANK GOD!!!
This is what happens when they methodically lower past temperatures in the record.

It really is amazing that the older the temperature record the more likely it is to be adjusted down, to the point the authors of that paper said "The revised record is totally inconsistent with published temperature patterns"
