There are several defense mechanisms conservatives may use in order to control the anger resulting from this news.
1) Rate the thread "funny"
2) Say that it's really cold in a region of a country, rather than in Earth as a whole.
3) Benghazi!

2017 Was One of the Hottest Years on Record. And That Was Without El Niño.

Quick, let's spend another trillion on windmills!!!

Read it ‘n weap. Unless of course you are a science denier.

The Holocene, starting with abrupt warming 11,700 years ago, resulted in rapid melting of the remaining ice sheets of North America and Europe. The retreat of glaciers altered landscapes in many ways and is currently still acting as a result of climate change.

Wonder what the hottest year was before we started keeping records?
Maybe some of you psychics can contact our dead ancestors? Surely you demi gods are mediums too?

Liar.

Earth’s obliquity and temperature over the last 20,000 years

Quick, let's spend another trillion on windmills!!!

Many billions will be spent on windmills and solar, as they are now cheap enough generation that it is profitable to retire working coal plants, and get the power from the wind and sunlight.

Or maybe some people have no capability to read or understand what the study of paleoclimatology has shown us.

Maybe so. What has it taught us?

So. It was cooler in 2017 than 2016?

I guess I'll just have to burn more tires in 2018.

Mandates plus billions in government subsidies can make lots of uneconomic activity.....profitable.

Give government more money and power......everything will be alright.

Boy, some people are still living in the 20th century. A new century has been here for over 17 years, boy.

Oh goody!
So we can end the "green energy" mandates and subsidies?

 

[Old Rocks]

Yes, why not? And enforce the regulations that keep the coal plants from poisoning us, as well as regulations that protect the watersheds against the extraordinary pollution of mountain top mining.

I just love threads like this after I cleaned another 6 inches of global warming off my car. My grandkids have been out of school for a week and a half because the snow won't melt off of the roads and last night it was 3 degrees with a wind chill of about -10.
