What they forgot to provide, the same way all Warmists forget, is to provide rock solid proof that it is mostly/solely caused by the actions of Mankind via greenhouse gases, particularly CO2

2015 shatters the temperature record as global warming speeds back up
Thanks to human-caused global warming and an assist from El Niño, 2015 will easily be the hottest year in millennia

With just a month and a half left in 2015, it’s clear this year will be by far the hottest on record, easily beating the previous record set just last year. The temporary slowdown in the warming of global surface temperatures (also misnamed the “pause”) has ended, as each of the past four years has been hotter than the one before.

El Niño is one reason 2015 has been such an incredibly hot year. During El Niño events, hot water is transported from the deep ocean layers to the surface. Over the past 15 years, we’ve experienced more La Niñas than El Niños, which helped temporarily slow the warming of global surface temperatures.

There’s not one shred of proof within the article by leading Cult of Climastrology member Dana Nuccitelli that any of this is caused by Humanity. This is about talking points and hysteria, science be damned. Speaking of science, someone named Klapper provides some interesting thoughts in the comments at the article

The problem with the analysis presented in this article is that neither of the two satellite lower troposphere temperature datasets agree that 2015 will be the warmest year ever. We’re seeing an increasing disconnect between the lower troposphere warming trend and the surface warming trend, and they both can’t be right.

The average of the UAH v6 and RSS v03 satellite-measured TLT from 2000 to now is .03C/decade. The average of HadCRUT4, NCDC, Berkeley and GISTEMP for the same period is 0.12C/decade, a warming rate 4 times higher than the satellite data. Is this contrast believable?

You could argue the satellites don’t cover the north and south poles and the surface data do, but that’s only half right. The northernmost station used by GISS (and I’m guessing the others) is Alert at 82.5N, exactly where the satellite data stop so the surface data go no further north than the satellite data. In addition, the satellite data have much better coverage in the center of Greenland, the Beaufort Sea; most of the Arctic for that matter.

He also wonders how Warmists will spin it when La Nina kicks in, and we get the typical drop in temperatures. Well, from what we have seen from all the Pause Deniers, they’ll have lots and lots of excuses.
