Yeah, but you're from Florida.

A little bit of “are you sure” in these paragraphs alone… again in an
article seemingly trying to be definitive.
The latest record means that 2014 — the previous record year — only
officially held
<https://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/january/nasa-determines-2014-warmest-year-in-modern-record> that
title for one year. 2014 came by its record by a relatively narrow
margin — for instance, NASA gave 2014
<http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/briefings/201501.pdf> a 38 percent
chance /(huh?) / of having been the warmest year on record, still
reserving a nontrivial chance that the real warmest year had been 2010
or 2005. (NOAA gave a 48 percent chance that 2014 had, at the time,
been the warmest year.) /(huh?)/
This year, in contrast, there is little need for citing percentages or
a statistical photo finish. Buoyed by a powerful El Niño event, 2015
shattered the 2014 record. NASA’s Schmidt suggests there is only a 5
percent possibility that any other year on record was actually warmer.
Huh?
In reality, we need to be good stewards of the earth in all ways,
including reducing emissions and poisons which have a far greater
impact that just the potential warming of the planets. I think
awareness in general is a very good thing. It’s funny though… a lot
of the global warming extremists seem like thy actually have control
of what the earth is going to do.
In 2004, almost every expert predicted that the heavy hurricane season
that pounded Florida would “now be like this for the rest of
civilization” because of this or that reason. By the grace of God
only, do we get to exist where every day is an uncertainty. Once you
remove the anxiety from problems, we can look at what we can do to
“get to work” on intelligent approaches to solve problems.
