2016 'very likely' to be world's warmest year

Where in your article does it say that co2 emissions is the driving factor?

It's not my article, it's a BBC article, and if you read the last sentence it says that CO2 is the most significant factor.

Profits for big business shouldn't come at such high a price. You can deny scientific orthodoxy if you want, but that's all it is, denial.

Some people run away from the truth, they'd rather hide their heads in the sand and pretend global warming was made up by China.

Ugh. https://www.inverse.com/amp/article/45010-earth-shattered-new-climate-record-400-months-temperature-is-getting-hotter?__twitter_impression=true

April 2018 was the 400th “consecutive month with above-average temperatures” on Earth, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). To clarify, that means December 1984 was the last month the planet had below-average temperatures. It also means we’re headed towards a climate change of 2 degrees Celsius, a number that will have devastating effects on the Earth’s biodiversity.
Not only has Earth reached the milestone of 400 consecutive months of heating up, but last April happened to be the third-warmest April ever recorded globally, according to the NOAA report released Thursday. Carbon dioxide levels also hit another milestone by reaching the “highest level in recorded history at 410 parts per million” last month.

With these new records behind us, scientists are now forecasting that the “worst case scenario,” one in which the planet heats up more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures by the end of the century, is more likely.

**** like this just amazes me. That's like asking someone if they're starving to death or dying of thirst. Who gives a rat's ass what is driving global warming--the point is that it's happening, and it is stark staring madness to dump more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This guy must be a shill for the fossil fuels industry.
