Do you notice that they never tell us how much hotter it was than the previously hottest year?

2016 was the hottest -- they claimed -- and the news reports did the same thing. Failed to mention by how much.

It finally came out that it was 1/100 of a deg/F. And, they mention, also in the small print, that their measurements are only accurate to 1/10 deg/F..

So, meaningless.

Good scientists would call it “the same”.
