2016 was the warmest year since humans began keeping records, by a wide margin. Global average temperatures were extremely hot in the first few months of the year, pushed up by a large El Niño event. Global surface temperatures dropped in the second half of 2016, yet still show a continuation of global warming.
This is the third record-breaking year in a row.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

It is really a shame. The push to publish unverified results or results that stand actual peer review makes it difficult when they put forward actual data.
Because I like to see them proved wrong, wherever possible I give market based arguments for people to pay more attention to wasted resources. Even the most ardent redneck will make basic changes when they see it hit their pocket book and realize a little more recycling can help them afford another box of ammo.
A little too much doom and gloom and calling the deniers the devil, and a little too little making reasoned arguments that are money based. But I guess capitalism is evil so better the earth burns than use money to save it.
