2015, yes, the warmest on record.

Well now, jc, all your side has is lies. So what you posted is the expected response. All the meteorological agencies of the various nations are stating that 2015 is the warmest year on record.

Let's see if Billy or any of the deniers can answer this extremely basic statistics problem.

You have the following data set of independent temperature readings.

13, 15, 10, 14, 12

The error on each reading is 0.50

What's the average temperature, and what's the error of the average?

If you have the data, why then are you adjusting the baseline to make your theory work?

Actually yes it is possible, based upon the climate history of the planet. There's nothing vague about it.

Look at history, and when I say look at history, look at all of it, not the micro-fractions of it people like you seem incapable of looking beyond.

The history clearly demonstrates that earth has been on a slow cooling trend for the past 6000 - 8000 years. Based on previous cycles, the earth was on schedule to keep cooling for at least another 20,000 years, until the next ice age was reached.

Yet, contrary to those natural cycles, the earth suddenly started warming quickly. Given how the current natural cycle is cooling, the current fast warming is clearly not part of a natural cycle.

If you were ignorant that the current natural cycle should be slow cooling, you really need to learn the basics of climate history.

Hmm. So you say that the earth has been cooling for 6 to 8,000 years? OK. So that means that 8,000 years ago, the earth was warmer than it is now. Now tell me, was the earth of 8,000 years ago(and according to you, warmer) an inhospitable place?

Lets just say that the plain states were covered by a massive desert and other places like central Africa and the middle east were a lot more green. You see some places are wetter and others are drier on a warmer planet. Of course, people like Hansen believe that we're already about to that point again or maybe blew through it.

dang......Im laughing.........we heard the same shit about 2014 unil they found they rigged the data.

Warm years..........cool years. Either way.........nobody is caring >>>>

To fully appreciate how nonviable green energy is in this new age of cheap oil, consider the economics of electric cars like those made by Tesla. In an article published in the most recent Journal of Economic Perspectives, the authors report that after extensive testing, current battery costs for a Tesla and other electric vehicles are roughly $325 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). How does that cost fare against standard gasoline in the tank? "At a battery cost of $325 per kWh," the authors wrote, "the price of oil would need to exceed $350 per barrel before the electric vehicle was cheaper to operate."
