You don't understand the concept.

He's talking about global warming, not countersteering.


Yeah, he doesn't understand the concept of global warming.

From NOAA:

The year 2013 ties with 2003 as the fourth warmest year globally
since records began in 1880. The annual global combined land and ocean
surface temperature was 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century average
of 13.9°C (57.0°F). This marks the 37th consecutive year (since 1976)
that the yearly global temperature was above average. Currently, the
warmest year on record is 2010, which was 0.66°C (1.19°F) above average.
Including 2013, 9 of the 10 warmest years in the 134-year period of
record have occurred in the 21st century. Only one year during the 20th
century—1998—was warmer than 2013.

Separately, the 2013 global average land surface temperature was
0.99°C (1.78°F) above the 20th century average of 8.5°C (47.3°F), the
fourth highest annual value on record.

The 2013 global average ocean temperature was 0.48°C (0.86°F) above
the 20th century average of 16.1°C (60.9°F) and tied with 2006 as the
eighth highest annual temperature on record and the highest since 2010,
the last time El Niño conditions were present in the central and eastern
equatorial Pacific Ocean. ENSO-neutral conditions were present in this
region during all of 2013.

Precipitation measured at land-based stations around the globe was
near average on balance for 2013, at just 0.31 mm above the long-term
average. However, as is typical, precipitation varied greatly from
region to region. This is the second consecutive year with near-average
global precipitation at land-based stations.


Global Temperatures

The year 2013 tied with 2003 as the fourth warmest year globally since
records began in 1880. The annually-averaged temperature across global
land and ocean surfaces was 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century
average and marks the 37th consecutive year (since 1976) that the annual
temperature was above the long-term average. Currently, the warmest year
on record is 2010, which was 0.66°C (1.19°F) above average. To date,
including 2013, 9 of the 10 warmest years on record have occured during
the 21st century. Only one year during the 20th century—1998—was warmer
than 2013. The global annual temperature has increased at an average
rate of 0.06°C (0.11°F) per decade since 1880 and at an average rate of
0.16°C (0.28°F) per decade since 1970.
