Over the past 150 million years, carbon dioxide had been drawn down steadily (by plants) from about 3,000 parts per million to about 280 parts per million before the Industrial Revolution. We're currently at only 400 parts per million.
The optimum level of carbon dioxide for plant growth, given enough water and nutrients, is about 1,500 parts per million, nearly four times higher than today.
There has been no significant warming for 18 years even though during that period we have emitted 25 per cent of all the carbon dioxide we've ever emitted.
Did you guys see the latest? My God. NOAA couldn't take seeing "The Pause" or the cool down since 2000 which NASA admitted so they adjusted the data AGAIN!! This is out of hand now.
Don't worry.. NOAA's source is in this link. I will quote them here... More details with link..
“Newly corrected and updated global surface temperature data from NOAA’s [National Centers for Environmental Information] do not support the notion of a global warming ‘hiatus,'”
I just go with the satellite data. Measuring several thousand feet of the lower troposphere using microwave signals seems more accurate then sifting through thousands of ground and ocean thermometers that are unevenly scattered across the globe, whose quality control can be questioned

Yup... and I learned over the years to just ignore it all together and have fun discussing weather and climate without that coming up. But then you see crap like that and it just boils you inside. They are the real crooks brainwashing the public.
Another quote:
" To increase the rate in warming, NOAA scientists put more weight on certain ocean buoy arrays, adjusted ship-based temperature readings upward, and slightly raised land-based temperatures as well. Scientists said adjusted ship-based temperature data “had the largest impact on trends for the 2000-2014 time period, accounting for 0.030°C of the 0.064°C trend difference.” They added that the “buoy offset correction contributed 0.014°C… to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012°C.”
