Inclusion of probability percentage is citation. Their conclusion isn't our debate, it's whether their conclusion is based on percentage of probability.
2014 was definitely the hottest year on record

So you still have not read the article, yet claim to understand what NASA and NOAA concluded.
I would be lying if I said I respect your intellect.
Protip: They concluded, unequivocally, that 2014 was certainly the hottest year on record, because science.

Citation required since that the most asinine statement ever made on the subject.Here's the chart again:
which means we're not dealing with probability in the sense of there being a margin of error, but as in ranking.
Here's a ranking as you've described it.
1. 2014
2. 2010
3. 2005
4. 1998
See, no need for probability percentages...definitive.

You should tell NASA.

No need, they know their conclusion is based on probability.

No you didn't. I know because of the misattributed quote in the other thread.
That's exactly what we're debating, ya dingus. Their conclusion was unequivocal.

No, I didn't.
No, it's not. Our debate is whether their conclusion was based on probability, nothing more.

A dingus would think that if they saw the chart and were misinformed by a right wing news media outlet, but if they were to read the NASA and/or NOAA literature, they would quickly find that the agencies concluded unequivocally that 2014 was the hottest year on record.
The probability mentioned in the chart only refers to the methodology for the ranking, since the percentages all add up to 100%.

You should learn a thing or two about logic.

You should learn the definition of probability.

Yes, you did misattribute that quote, but you can just cite it if it really did come from NASA.

Citation required, you're thinking of the other member. My quote was unattributed, as I believe you pointed out.

Post #41. You misattributed a quote to NASA.

It's not contradictory at all, unless you chop the quote, like you did.
Their conclusion is irrelevant to our debate. The basis (the part of the quote you oddly misplaced) of their conclusion IS the debate.

It is absolutely contradictory.
They did not conclude that 2014 might have been the hottest year on record as you claim, and even misattributed a quote to support this claim which you refuse to cite.
They concluded unequivocally that 2014 was certainly the hottest year on record.

No I didn't. That quote is unattributed.

Because it didn't come from NASA.

I'm not arguing that they did or didn't conclude anything. I'm arguing it's not definitive, regardless of whether they say it is or not.
