I edited the list trying to make it more clear.

The point is, most years since 2014 have been “The hottest year on record.” It’s kind of lost significance as as an outlier, when it’s generally a good bet next year will be hotter.

@Steve It does sound geeky, but yes, it is technically correct to say about a year that is the hottest year on record.

And the fact you pointed that every single year becomes the hottest year on record makes it even more dangerous and shows that we need to take proper measures.

Yeah, it would be good to word it more precisely. Hearing the same phrase every year doesn’t have the impact they think it does. I’m kinda curious as to what would sound better 🤔
