Did you read that link? "This year appears set to be the coolest
globally this century." This century started in *2000*.

That's a popular misconception. This century actually began on January
1, 2001. The first century started with year 1 and ended on the *end* of
year 100. 100 years. That is the reason we call this the 21st century,
because it ends with 2100. Now, if you can show me where the first
century started with year 0, I'll concede your point.
