2020 was the 2nd warmest year in the UAH 42 year record


Crikey! Have we been keeping temperature records for all of 42 years? Wow!


It's the UAH satellite record. You know. Those whirly things that fly
around up there.


So, it might not be the 2nd warmest year at all!


It's the second warmest in a 42-year record, as Paul clearly stated at
the start. Why do you have a problem with that?


Because it is a context-less statement. There are other temperature
records about, going back far longer than a mere 42 years. How does
this reading compare to those?
