Earth had one of its warmest years on record last year, continuing an alarmingly steady trend where each of the past four decades has ranked hotter than the one before it, government science agencies announced Thursday.
The global average surface temperature in 2021 was the sixth-highest in recorded history, coming in 1.51 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the 20th century average, according to officials at NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The newly announced figures are based on independent analyses done yearly by both agencies. The report's findings are an important indicator of the planet's long-term health and provide a gauge of how Earth's climate has changed from year to year since record-keeping began in 1880.
NASA said global average surface temperatures last year tied with 2018 as the sixth-warmest on record, but noted that the past eight years have collectively been the warmest years in recorded history.

Yeah, who cares? We aren't doing anything to affect the planet so there is no reason for us to care. This is just what happens with the Earth. /s

In Search Of The Coming Ice Age ... With Leonard Nimoy (1978).
We are in between ice ages. We've had a few of them without any humans contributing CO2. President Biden wants to hire 1,000 people to help with climate change in the government. I think the money would be better spent with Elon Musk hiring a thousand Engineers. Back in the 1970s is Sir Charles had a special talking about the coming Ice Age. Leonard Nimoy from Star track hosted it. They predicted by this time by the 2020s come we be back in a full-fledged Ice Age.
Spending trillions of dollars just to lower the Earth's temperature 1/2 of 1 degrees centigrade is a waste of money and most of that goes through China. China is buying all the carbon I mean dirty coal internationally. China and India are given until 2050 or 2060 to comply.
Milder Winters are actually helping crops in Canada. It's not so bad for me even though it's about eight below zero right now. Last week it was 25 below zero. I want global warming!

Ya, and they're bottling fine champagne in Great Britain, but it's just a natural thing!

Correction the TV series was called in search of. By the way, the Biden number 2 build back better plan had severe carbon tax is built into the plan so it wasn't free. Right now I'm paying fifty cents a gallon more in carbon taxes and by 2026 it will be $2 a gallon. The Democrats are sticking a carbon tax inside the bogus build back better plan. I'm glad it's spelled because it would also make an equation worse. Too much money chasing too few goods means rampant inflation and already feeling it now.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen yes we've had 12 of warming and Cooling and it wasn't caused by an asteroid hitting the Yucatan killing all the dinosaurs. We still don't know that much about it.
