And yet it will probably be the coolest year for the rest of our lives.

To be fair, I don't think so, there will probably years that still be relatively cold or even colder than previously. Climate change is about extremes getting more extreme.

Yes but the overall trend is warmer.

The likelihood of a colder year than previous ones will shrink further and further.

You'll absolutely be getting a few weeks of unbelievable cold throughout the years, though - as in actual snow during summer and heat strokes during winter.
