The U.S. ocean, atmospheric and space agencies affirmed on Friday what the planet has been telling us every way it knows how: 2014 was the hottest year since record keeping began in 1880.
That means average land and sea temperatures, worldwide, have never been hotter in modern times, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the gold standard for global climate data) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (the guys who put a man on the moon).
This isn't about whether we believe in science: It's about whether we believe the thermometer.
In fact, the 16 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1997, the new data confirm, contributing to widening deserts, rising seas, withering drought, ravaging storms, blistering heat and other climate change impacts reaching from the tiniest African village to our own backyards.
Here in the United States, Arizona, Nevada, Alaska and California all wrapped up their hottest years on record. California remains mired in the grip of a three-year drought, its worst in centuries. The Northeast is still rebuilding from Hurricane Sandy. And that was just one of the climate-related disasters that cost this country an estimated $139 billion in damages in 2012 alone....

If you’re worried that much and honestly believe man is causing it CNN, then practice what you tell us to do...shut off your office lights, employees don’t drive vehicles, no backup generators(I don’t care how important you think you are), no air conditioning in any of your buildings, minimal heat in all your buildings, no corporate jets, all employees eat accordingly to minimize methane release, bare minimal electricity consumption, and I’m sure there’s quite a bit more you can do to set an example for us.
Dear Rhea Suh,
You are either a total fool, or a liar.
I’ll give you credit for one thing - you don’t mess around - you put the lie right in the title!
“Earth’s hottest year?” Total LIE!
From 1880 until the present is a tiny slice of time in a 4.5 billion-year old planet. We now have technology that can show us the temperature of the earth before we were able to start recording it.
Every chart I have seen shows that over the total period of time, the earth is COOLING!
Of course, you already know this. That’s why you stopped calling it ‘global warming’ and started calling it ‘climate change’
So - you are not a fool. You are a liar trying to get the government to give you our money.
And you have been successful in that regard. It’s actually quite a brilliant scam: Get taxpayers to give you boatloads of money because the weather is changing.
Well said.
This news along with the fake economic numbers, are then coupled with the fake new 50% approval for Obama to brainwash the masses going into the State of the Union. Will the American people be stupid enough to fall for it...again?
Yes!
In 2014 Lake Superior had ice-out in late May. In fact it might have been June 1st. I remember when climatologists in Mpls-StP were speculating the date of ice-out as it was so very late in the spring.
We has a cool summer in Minnesota too last year.
The same arguments the left used in 1975-76-77 for Global Freezing are the same arguments used today for Global Warming
