Go to the link for the full article. The author lists three points of bias that he has found in NOAA's report. The first, quoted above, has to do with the fact that the supposed difference above the previous high temperature is within the accuracy range of the data, so it may not actually have been the highest temperature. They just don't know because the difference is too small.

Here are the author's closing comments:

According to NOAA definitions, global surface temperatures for 2014 were “More Unlikely Than Likely” the highest on record, but they failed to note that on the main page of their State of the Climate report. NOAA used a specific ENSO index to claim that El Niño conditions did not exist in 2014, when at least one other index says El Niño conditions existed. And NOAA failed to discuss the actual causes of the elevated global sea surface temperatures in 2014, while making it appear that there was a general warming of the surfaces of the global oceans.

NOAA never stated specifically that 2014’s record high surface temperatures were a result of human-induced global warming, but they implied it…thus all the hoopla. NOAA has omitted key discussions within that report, which biases it toward human-induced global warming. In other words, the NOAA State of the Climate report was misleading. NOAA has once again shown it is a political entity, not a scientific one. And that’s a damn shame. The public needs openness from NOAA about climate; we do not need to be misled by politically motivated misdirection and misinformation.

Sorry but the Federal beurocracy has been thoroughly politicized after six years of Obama control. Simply cannot believe any statistic they put forth. The man lies to promote his agenda. “ If you like your heath insurance......”

First of all is the question whether or not,given circumstances,any of this is believable. Then look at the temperature differences they are stating. They are quoting in HUNDREDTHS of degrees!!! How would anyone even notice this? This is craziness,unless,of course,they are promoting an agenda.
