nope,18 years of data is not enough to prove that global warming is a myth. For all we know it could be 18 years of cool and then a heat spike right after. It's coming, and everyone will pay the price. Even then, this is old data. We're in 2015 http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/22/weather/2015-record-summer-heat/
Good point, because any data older then around 50 years is very suspect. Or you can take into account the Earths climate all the way around the time of Pangaea.

Except 18 years of Satellite data show the earth has cooled. Not heated.

because Dinosaurs were obviously burning coal and pumping C02 into the air.

Dinosaurs didn't create C02?

The last time there was this much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist.
