More than 28 years since the Earth had an average or below average global temperature.
When you take that "1.08 degF" excess in total isolation, it doesn't sound so bad.
When you consider the scale of the energy systems involved here - i.e., that we're not talking
about some kid having a mild fever but instead that the entire land & ocean surface of the globe,
the tptal area of the planet, has increased in temperature - that is so frightening that I'm not surprised
so many people just put their hands over their eyes and pretend that the problem will go away.
