WARMEST YEARS - HARD TO SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

The graph below compares the ten warmest years on record for global surface measurements. Here is a link: Annual 2022 Global Climate Report | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) (noaa.gov) The year 2022 was the sixth warmest since global records began in 1880 at 0.86°C (1.55°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F). What credence should we put on such data? 

Where were the recording stations in the polar regions, bulk of Eurasia, Africa, South America, and the oceans in 1880? How does infrared radiation in a warming atmosphere penetrate the oceans beyond 1 millimeter? 

It is hard to believe that there is much value in a claim that these figures are sufficiently accurate to be taken seriously.

    Decade by decade we keep getting warmer.

    After the huge El Nino of 1998 there was a lot of talk by those that deny, that the earth was no longer warming. Until 1998 became the 2nd warmest year on record. ANd now 1998 does not make the top 10 warmest years any more. Variations in earth temperature is normal. Heating of the earth is man made from our co2 emissions into the atmosphere.
