"Warmest temperature on record"
Laughably false, but no one ever challenges this. Our that the planet is at one of the coldest periods in the last 600 million years, which right now seems to be about as far back as they can estimate with any degree of confidence.

Key word - record. We have an official record of global temperatures for approximately a century.

"Fastest warming ever"
Anyone who says that doesn't appear to have ever heard of something known as the Minoan warming. Which btw according to ice core studies was about 2.5 degrees C warmer than now.

Maximum temperature =/= rate of temperature increase. Where are you finding that the Minoan warming period had a more rapid rise in temperatures?

The fact is the planet will warm up, quite a bit over the next few years. Few as in few million, which is a small fraction of the planets history.

That is an even bolder claim than anthropomorphic climate change. What do you base this on?

These idiots are telling you that only about .003% of the global history matters (and that's just the last 600 million years). They get away with it because most people don't bother to check.

I don't think they do that at all.
