Hottest decade on record, 2019 second hottest year but record warming for the seas where 90% of the heat has been captured.

The past decade was the hottest on record, government researchers announced on Wednesday, the latest sign of global warming’s grip on the planet. And 2019 was the second-warmest year ever, they said, just shy of the record set in 2016.
Analyses by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that global average surface temperatures last year were nearly 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than the average from the middle of last century, caused in large part by emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from the burning of fossil fuels. That much warming means the world is far from meeting goals set to combat climate change.
When a climate scientist can give me EXACT temperatures between 64,344,754 and 64,344,654 BC I'll believe the changes over the last hundred years are unique.
Scientists can only give rough guestimates of that prehistoric 100 years.
I'll try to keep that in mind. We had the first snow in September since 1926, the coldest October in recorded history, and I've spent the last 2 weekends and several weeknights plowing snow. If global warming is real, I'd like to get some.
1. The AGW cult MUST report record highs every year, otherwise the whole scam unravels. If we are to believe AGW, temps can NEVER go down with higher and higher CO2 levels.
2. The AGW cult just alters past temps lower to make it appear as though every year is warmer. Watch your evening news and note when they report record highs and lows. Nearly all the "record highs" are from the mid 1930s, yet the AGW crew wants us to believe that every year is hotter.
The problem with pseudo-science is not only the damage that embracing false "scientific" premises creates, but it also robs the ability of individuals to think critically, which is essential in valid science. No longer are there multiple influences on climate- only CO2 in the mind of the AGW cult.
Meanwhile, there are MANY causes of climate change that are potentially detrimental to man that go unexplored, as the unwashed mob has declared "settled science". Meanwhile, we have a Grand Solar Minimum setting in, a reduction in the earth's magnetic field, and increased volcanic activity which is being ignored.
