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 NiƱo 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.

    True, and while the US enjoys friendly relations with Russia, Iran, Canada and Saudi Arabia, those petrostates wreck havoc elsewhere with their petrodollars. Look at what they've done in the Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, and on and on.
