Not to be a Debbie Downer, but it looks like they raised the newest value, not lowered the 2016. Look at the spacing between the 2 newest data points downloaded in Jan vs July. In Jan the 2 data points are touching, in July there is a space between the 2, like they increased it, not lowered 2016. Could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.
This is what really happened, it's clear to me too. Rest of the article is suspect because of it. I honestly DGAF about climate change because I just can't, it's so heavily politicized that it's impossible to know who's pulling your chain no matter what their argument is.
