Who can trust these people again... ever?
“Global average temperatures warmest on record” is the key phrase.
This is an easy stat to manipulate. All that’s necessary is to continuously add additional weather stations. The more stations you have the higher the “warmest average ever recorded” temperature you can claim, because the first year records for the stations are always going to be “the warmest ever recorded.”
They’ll also be the coolest ever recorded, but they won’t mention that.

Los Angeles, July 2010: 84-year record broken for lowest daytime high temperature
When we were having record lows this past winter, these clowns were all over the place telling us it is just the season, and not an indication that globalist warming isn’t happening. So what happened to the just the season explanation. If it’s good for winter, it is good for summer. ...We’ve been told for years that globalist warming is melting the icecaps, causing ocean levels to rise, but now we are told El Nino is going away because water levels in the Pacific are low. None of these screwballs know which way Earth’s temperatures are trending, apart from saying we’ve warmed up since the last ice age. None of them know how to analyze the consequences of global warming or the effects of increased CO2 levels. When Greenland was farmland, the ocean levels didn’t wash civilization away.
In defense of NOAAs credibility, here’s an updated and more accurate forecast:

How disappointing. NOAA goes from a respected uniformed service of the U.S. to a brain-dead puppet of Obama.

The US ain’t!
