Per my comment above, we actually just experienced the largest 2-year drop in temp in the last 100 years. The danger with a hugely complex system like "global warming" (i.e. world climate) is that it can be attributed to be the cause of anything.

Here's what seems to be a chart of the last hundred and thirty-six years of global land-ocean temperature.

It seems some years are cooler than others, but the general trend is upwards.

I don't see where the last two years indicate much of a temperature drop. Do you have a source of information for your statement?

NASA GISS surface temp data [0]. Feb 2016 to Feb 2018. It's a noteworthy occurrence (and not something the news cycle would pick up) since the focus is always on warming. It certainly doesn't refute the short-term trends present.
