So 0.01 degrees per year average.
Yeah, if you pick those particular years, and round down. You will probably think that 0.01 oC per year increase is nothing to worry about. You'd be stupid to make that assumption for two reasons. Reason 1: The pattern is accelerating in general, though you can cherry pick some years to get a smaller number.
Reason 2: It is cumulative. Over 100 years, that has led to 1 oC. Eventually, that will be 4 oC. It will probably be sooner than you think. There are a number of reasons that 4oC would be bad, even if an extra 4 oC would not kill you this afternoon.
Did a little more "research". I didn't realize how noaah manipulated their data.
https://realclimatescience.com/2016/12/100-of-us-warming-is-due-to-noaa-data-tampering/Of course this IS a denier site.
NOAA does not manipulate data or publish fraudulent data. Nor does NASA or any other of the hundreds of reputable scientific organizations around the world. Any mistake, no matter how slight, would be attacked relentlessly by scientists who have enormous incentives to disprove papers.
Just because something is on the Internet does not make it credible. There are plenty of sites that are run by the TenPoundBasses of the world that simply publish complete bullshit.
It's not hard to distinguish between creditable sources and fraudulent ones. Creditable sources have long histories often going back before the World Wide Web. The world scientific community is so large that it's easy to verify which organizations are real scientific organizations and which are fake ones. The real ones are acknowledged by the community as a whole. You'll never see realclimatescience.com referenced by NASA or the Royal Meteorological Society except perhaps if they are debunking the source.
In short there is no excuse for being fooled by random asshole spouting lies on the Internet. It's not that hard to distinguish real scientific organizations from propaganda mills.
