Look at the graph in the rightwing blog you yourself referenced as evidence of "globaloney" in the first post in this string (all other readers please do likewise). Look at the graph (do you know what a graph is MM, do you understand how to read one?). Look along the bottom and see there are numbers, these are the years MM. Look for the numbers 1998. Now look a little higher and you will see a jagged line running across the graph. This line is sort of a drawing of what the average temperature was for the year shown directly below. Now MM l know this is hard, real hard, but look straight up from that number 1998. Do you see how the jagged line goes way way up in that one year. Do you see that MM? Now look how the next year the line goes way back down...see it MM? Then it starts up again then down a little then up a lot then down a little then up some more. Do you see that above the number 2015 the jagged line has gotten even higher than that big spikey pointy line in 1998?
