2014 was definitely the hottest year on record

I prefer the heat.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that, even in winter we should be as warm as we like and it shouldn't be expensive- read inefficient- to do so.

This means changing a few energy production, distribution and usage paradigms, but you know, omelettes need broken eggs...

I stand corrected. Nothing will live. I doubt it would be just fine though. Just another lifeless planet.
There are bacteria that thrive at >100 degrees centigrade. Judging by most of the commentariat here, I prefer the bacteria.

The earth will be just fine.

To suggest the earth will be a scorched, uninhabited ember is not exactly brilliant.
That is exactly what will happen eventually, barring some unforeseen astrological event.

It's not like we have off-world colonies to fall back on. Why be so careless with our only home?

Exactly. Turns out there's a lot of data.
Actually...no. The data feeds are updated daily, and it took less than 10 days to put together that dubious announcement of theirs, probably because they had to go "correct" a bunch of stuff to fit their narrative (as per their own methodology, CLEARLY stated on the GISS-data sources page). If one station shows COLDER temps than the "average" by some unspecified margin, they yank it from the dataset.
Does that sound like "good science" to you?

Where is the article that says this? So did the numbers get changed during the bush years as well?

Yeah, when the sun turns into a red giant... in a couple of billion years. In the meantime the earth will be struck by multiple planet-killing comets, and space aliens will invade and eat every damn one of the delectable humans roaming the planet.

The earth abides. Some people will get that reference.

Get the book by Dr Jared Diamond, 'Collapse'. He agrees with you and discusses how it will happen. It's a grim read.

I got one for you: Don't shit where you eat.

in case you were too busy training to be a cop to notice, you cited NPR the other day to back up some point you were trying to make.

i don't know if you are aware, but unlike you, NPR is a huge proponent of manmade global warming, a theory which you think is some kind of hoax.

do you realize how stupid that makes you look,

Tasty Spoonful #2:

Step 1 : Elimination of dubious records (do_comb_step1.sh)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Data and station information are combined in a data base. Some unphysical
looking segments of data records were eliminated after manual inspection of
unusual looking annual mean graphs and comparing them to the corresponding
graphs of all neighboring stations.
The data are converted back to a text version.
