NASA has released the global temperature estimate for February of 2016. It’s a new record for the hottest monthly anomaly yet.

Deniers like Ted Cruz also like to show satellite-based estimates of temperature in the atmosphere rather than at the surface (where we live), because it shows less warming than the surface temperature data. They also like to claim that it’s the “best data we’ve got” — which is ironic, because Carl Mears (lead scientist of the team that processes the data they use, from Remote Sensing Systems) thinks the surface temperature data is better. In any case, those tricks won’t work any more either; here’s a view of satellite data for the troposphere:

The do-nothings aren't gonna stop till we have all cooked to death.

Of course, that is a hollow victory.
