If it’s always varied in intensity, why are the ten hottest years on record all after 2015?

Surely we’d see random hot years all over the map.

This thread and the article are discussing about El Nino, not global average temperatures.

  • You said:

    >If you give any regularly-occurring event that varies in intensity enough time, it is guaranteed to break the records of its previous intensities.

    I don't even have to add emphasis myself, you already did.

    Someone then named a regularly-occurring event of varying intensity (summer is hot), and pointed out that the data shows the opposite of your explanation (i.e. this isn't random variance causing random spikes; this is a continuous increasing trend).

    You then said, effectively, "not that regularly-occurring event of varying intensity!"

    Kinda seems like you're moving the goalposts a bit.
