Even though President Obummer, with dry eyes, says that 2015 was the warmest on record (from 1979), he is not entirely telling the truth. In fact, last year was the third warmest in satellite-data history after 1998 and 2010 ... see chart above and Daily Caller Article. (This is satellite data which is, by far, the most reliable.) And as clearly can be seen, the driving element in these warming spikes has mostly been El Niño which was a factor last year ... and may cause 2016 to actually surpass 1998.
Now, the reason for these warming spikes has predominantly been an ocean current and not carbon dioxide, so what are the climate Chicken Littles to do? Obviously, one or more of these tinfoil-hat wearers, will soon dramatically pronounce that the small increase in carbon dioxide that we have experienced has ... ta da ... been causing El Niño. So there, you skeptics!
