    No, but last year was the record hot one, and this year is as hot as the 6th warmest, while going into a cooler La Nina period ... when it should be below average - but is still around 0.6 degrees warmer than average.

    And every single one of the sixteen hottest years on record have occurred since and including 1998

    Must be warming going on eh!
