Except we now know from satellite data, neither of those years were the hottest since 1979, let alone "on record".
I would have replied earlier, but I was dealing with all these sheets of MMGW that are covering our walkway and driveway. It's been unusually frigid around here for two weeks, now this. Everything out here is closed because of all the MMGW on the roads.
Remember that brief warm snap we had in December that our resident Eco-Loon actually said was specifically climate change, not just weather? Well, that must mean this isn't just weather either and we're heading into an ice age.
Damn global warming, when is it gonna fucking materialize?
