Now that it's over, we can say for sure:
2016 was the warmest year we've ever measured on Earth.

"If you are mad as hell and aren't gonna take it anymore, grab your rifle and head outside. If you're the only one with a rifle screaming like a maniac, go back inside. It isn't time yet."
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
“As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
"You think a wall as solid as the earth separates civilisation from barbarism. I tell you the division is a sheet of glass."
Whatever dates.....it's all bull****.

With enough evidence, even skepticism will thaw
Half a decade before he took this trip to the
farthest reaches of the north, Andreas Muenchow had his doubts about
whether warming temperatures were causing one of the world’s great
platforms of ice to melt and fall apart.
He even stood before Congress in 2010 and balked on whether climate
change might have caused a mammoth chunk of ice, four times the size of
Manhattan, to break off from this floating, 300-square-mile shelf. The
University of Delaware oceanographer said he wasn’t sure. He needed more
evidence.
But then the Petermann Ice Shelf lost another two Manhattans of ice in
2012, and Muenchow decided to see for himself, launching a project to
study the ice shelf intensively.

Yes, Some Extreme Weather Can Be Blamed on Climate Change
Droughts, wildfires, heat waves, intense rainstorms—these are all
extreme weather phenomena that occur naturally. But climate change is
now increasing the frequency and magnitude of many of these events.
Flooding in Paris and the Arctic heat wave are just two instances where
climate change contributed to extreme weather in 2016—and there are many
more examples.
Yet how do scientists know that global warming influenced a specific
event? Until recently, they couldn’t answer this question, but the field
of “attribution science” has made immense progress in the last five
years. Researchers can now tell people how climate change impacts them,
and not 50 or 100 years from now—today.
