"1977 to present: Warming period. The summer of 2003 is said to be the warmest one since the Middle Ages. The tabloids notify us of widespread catastrophes due to "global warming". The causes of warming are discovered - humanity and its carbon-dioxide-generating fossil-fuel use and deforestation. Anyone else find something fishy about the final sentence?"

Well, the cause was discovered in 1896, and land use policy doesn't contribute much in the way of fossil carbon. The second sentence? Well. '05 became the hottest year on record, and then '10 barely beat it, and then '14, '15, and '16, and this year will be 2nd warmest..
