It would not normally just be imperceptible slow to our human senses, it would normally be imperceptibly below the noise floor over our entire lifetimes.
Also there often seems to be the assumption that every year should be like average. In fact, average implies that some years should be below and some above.
Not saying there is nothing going on, but I don't automatically believe we are all going to die just from that article. (We as in mankind, every individual will of course die, unless there is a major scientific breakthrough).

Nowhere in the article does it say that. Nothing about this article is alarmist.
The simple truth is you've already made up your mind about climate change in general, and now you're just looking for tiny crumbs of evidence that researchers are slipping up somewhere, and criticizing anything that doesn't fit your notion of how this should play out.

That exact line could be handed back to yourself, except that you are sucking up all evidence that confirms your point of view.
And no, I don't need to buy into the idea of climate change at all to take the contents of the article at face value.
Common sense is essentially how people think. Scientists are also people. If claims don't add up or data is missing to support a claim, common sense can be used to spot it.
Quantum mechanics say hello
> except that you are sucking up all evidence that confirms your point of view.
how much evidence there is in the "there is no climate change" side?
"how much evidence there is in the "there is no climate change" side?"
Why are you bringing up "there is no climate change"? Nobody made such a claim. But even if there is climate change, not every article has to be taken at face value, and not every theory on how it comes about has to be automatically considered true.
No, I'm saying that common sense doesn't have any saying in science
Ah, you';re missing the point completely
Quantum mechanics has nothing to do with climate change, but the point is that your claim that common sense is important in science is false
