The following is an analysis of temperatures on Earth for the 11 months January-November 2018. It is broadly consistent with the OP of this thread about 2018 being Australia’s third warmest year on record, according to BoM. the material debunks a suggestion that oceans are cooling: they remain warmer than average. the material is sourced from the Internet site of the National Centers For Environmental Information, a unit of NOAA, whose Internet site is now functioning again after the end of the most US govt shutdown. NCEI: “The January–November 2018 period was the fourth warmest such period in the 139-year record for the world's land and ocean surfaces, with an average temperature that was 0.77°C (1.39°F) above the 20th century average. This value was 0.19°C (0.34°F) lower than the record high set in 2016. “With one month remaining, the 2018 global land and ocean temperature will very likely to end as the fourth warmest year in the 139-year record. ”Most of the world's land and ocean surfaces had warmer- to much-warmer-than-average conditions during the 11-month period. Cooler-than-average conditions were limited to parts of northern Canada and the North Atlantic Ocean, off the southern coast of Greenland. ” Record warmth was present across parts of the Atlantic Ocean, much of central Europe and surrounding bodies of water, the Barents Sea, Asia, western Pacific Ocean, and New Zealand and its surrounding ocean. “No land or ocean areas had record cold temperatures. “The year-to-date global land-only surface temperature was 1.11°C (2.00°F) above average and the fourth highest for January–November in the record. “The global ocean-only surface temperature was also fourth highest on record at 0.65°C (1.17°F) above average. ”According to NCEI's Regional Analysis, five of six continents had a January–November temperature that ranked among the sixth highest since continental records began in 1910. Of note, Europe had its warmest such period on record at 1.80°C (3.24°F) above average. This value surpassed the previous record set in 2014 by 0.09°C (0.16°F). The Hawaiian Region and the Gulf of Mexico had their third highest January–November temperature on record.”

Many people in Australia are very concerned about global warming as they fill their tanks with cheap petrol and increase the aircon to keep their home cool. Sale of coal is booming. Most plants are enjoying the fertilisation effect of carbon dioxide to help feed our now huge population. Who would of thought the earths population would be 7.5 billion 100 years ago. People are wealthier and happier now than the entire history of humans on earth. Nearly everyone has access to the internet and therefore education. People are interacting with other races freely on facebook and dating sites to keep all informed about most current affairs. Warm weather will help feed the 10 billion people in 20 years time. The earth has been too cool for too long. Time for it to blossom. iwonder
