except..dum dum dummmmm we aren't warming!
Kind of depends on the dates you use. We aren't warming if you're talking the geologic past. We've been a lot warmer. There was about a 20 year, recent pause in warming, then they rewrote the land surface data to make that go away. Then shortly after that there was another little year long burst of warm and even the satellite data showed a slight increase.
But let's say we ignore all that. We can go back to 1979, following the global cooling, media scare when global temperatures started rising again and nobody, not even the satellite scientists were denying it.
That's the little burst that the Alarmist clown patrol wants to pull their hair out about and insist never in the history of Earth has it ever risen that fast - like they would have data for it if that was true. They don't. They have the odd convenient proxy guestimates of convenient passages of time and locations.
But anyway from 1979 here's what the scientist who monitors the satellite temps tells us the warming trend today is after October's results are in.
$1:
The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.13 C/decade (+0.11 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).
https://www.drroyspencer.com/If things continue at that rate - the rate that has caused the hysteria from wunderkinds like Bill Nye - we're talking 1.3 degrees warmer in a hundred years. To which I say, 'so what?' We can handle that. Contrary to what Doc will imply and call science that won't melt Greenland even if it happens. Calling this BS catastrophe they're imagining science or data might scare a 16 year old with Aspergers, OCD, crazy parents, a "Progressive" handler and selective mutism but anybody with a mind open to scientific skepticism not so much.
