So Australia had its hottest year on record and 2013 was the 4th hottest year in historical records, because a few of the thousands of temperature recorders are in bad locations, supposedly.
It still does not change the fact that the Earth is warming at the rate of 4 Hiroshima BOMBS PER SECOND..
You can laugh
, but it is a tragedy 
, and you are not helping at all 
. Are you on solar and one or no children, practicing the three Rs? 
Then it is even worse, if you are not, and humanity is quickly running out of time to stop methane turnover. 
Read the 4th tipping point thread, and the horsemen riding thread, for real info.

"So what do we know about this current imbalance of 250 trillion Watts?
Simple, it can’t last! Either the cause of the imbalance needs to be removed, or the Earth will restore the balance another way; by warming up enough. If it is a choice – the Earth warms a bit or the oceans boil away - which do you think will happen?"
Well, going with the facts of PETM and the estimate of HGHG then CH4 temperature rise, the biosphere will warm up ~30*F in 450 years. Much too fast for biological adaptation. A large extinction "event", and no more people. This is only connected to the 2048 population crash in that the food supply is affected by AGW negatively. Water, too.
The survivors of that will eke it out until AETM ELE.
All because of people like you delaying action until it is too little too late.

Thanks all you pukes who don't deserve the label human. Instead,the label is selfish, greedy, dumb(too dumb to even understand sustainability), over-breeding naked apes. 
professes to believe that the scientific establishment is engaged in “mass psychology” because it is “intent on exploiting the masses and extracting more money” (to what purpose he did not say). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – the main global body that reports the scientific evidence on the issue – allegedly “resorts to dishonesty and deceit” and promotes “the religion behind the climate crusade”. Newman insists there are “credible” scientists who say the Earth is cooling rather than warming.
