The recent UN statement is a perfect example of the kind of political bullshit where very selective data is used to support a wealth transfer agenda. You'll note he says hottest in the last 120,000 years, look at this graph and you'll see there are regular peaks over time, we're at a present peak, and the last big one before this was about 140,000 years, and it was larger THIS peak, so if they had picked 140,000 years instead of 120,000 years then this argument wouldn't fly, hence the selective use of data.
