The mere 128 years used for this assessment, is little less than a hiccup in the grand scheme. To clarify, I do believe in the greenhouse effect and it's implications for global warming in the next century, but I do not think that the recorded heat of this year and 2001 are accurate representations of that trend. Given the fact that this sculpture's purpose is to promote open scientific discussion of this issue, I think it's a good thing.

For December alone, the month also ranked as the eighth warmest globally, for the combined land and ocean surface temperature. The assessment is based on records dating back to 1880.
