Take out 1998 from the last 18 years and see what you get.  Until 2014, 1998 was the warmest year since modern records have been kept.  In 2014 it became the 2d warmest...in 2015 it dropped to 3d.  1998 was spiked temp wise due to the strongest El Niño on record (you might want to google to see what the thinking is on how El Ninos are being influenced by climate change...oh no of course not, silly me, you know everything there is to know already because you read the rightwing talking points before your bedtime prayer every night). But I digress, take away 1998 completely and tell us what has happened to the average since 1999...for one thing 2013 replaces 1998 as the 3d warmest on record! Keep your head in the sand MM.  That way we get to see your better half every time you pop off!!
