Earth is off to a hot start in 2020.
On the heels of the warmest January in recorded history and the second-warmest February, the planet has now logged its second-hottest March on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday.
Its just the latest milestone in what NOAA says is a clear, long-term warming trend. And though there are nine months left in the year, the agencys models are already suggesting that theres a good chance that 2020 could end up as the warmest year since record-keeping began in 1880.
It does look like theres a better-than-half probability that we will finish the year warmest on record, Deke Arndt, chief of the monitoring branch at NOAAs National Centers for Environmental Information, said Thursday in a news briefing about the agencys latest monthly climate report.
The recent temperature records show that even amid natural variations, the planet is continuing to warm at an accelerated pace.
The warm temperatures shrank Arctic sea ice to its 11th-lowest extent, covering 251,000 square miles.
Arctic sea ice tends to expand to its largest footprint over the month of March, Arndt said. This year, it was small.
Long-term warming is a lot like riding on an escalator the longer you stay on the escalator, the higher you go, he said. El Niño is like standing tall and crouching down as youre riding up that escalator. While were not at the stand-as-tall-as-you-can El Niño stage, were not exactly crouching down either.

I just saw a report that a two-state region where I live has had one of the coldest Aprils on record...
Thanks for backing me up on that caww.
15° in Denver this morning. twenty degrees below “normal”.
I have sent my niece many articles, videos and even a book on this nonsense and she is now educated.
She asked me why people push this. I told her that they want to control your money, freedom and enrich themselves.
I also told her that now you know that if anyone mentions global warming to you they are full of it and just walk away.
DOOM, I tell ya, DOOM!!!!
Is 140 years of record keeping really an accurate determination of the fate of the planet?
Belton/Ft. Hood its 60.
but the wind is still blowing.
It’s almost MAY and we have a winter storm watch ... at one point they were talking about 6 inches of snow. Now 2 to 4. But still, where is the global warming? Last year also was a cold, wet, late spring.
Hey Denise, get a real job.
We had 17/18 mph winds yesterday. It really adds a chill factor thats uncomfortable. Plus, I cant put out my tomatoes when its so cold. Maybe next week...
The sky is spreading Gorebull Warming in southern MI this morning.
ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1880? That FAR? WOW! Were there still dinosaurs back then? /s
Hey Denise.... Covid didn’t kill you. Look out, global warming will. Go find your binkey.
An inch of snow yesterday here and frost today.
They checked weather records going back to 10,000 BC in Greta Thuneberg’s basement!
The Earth is 5,000,000,000 years old. 5 Billion. Someone please do the math: 140/5,000,000,000=?? so we will know how much historical data relative to the age of the Earth we have.
I think they’re tools in a planned strategy. The ChiComs with the help of the WHO has knocked the West to it’s knees without a shot being fired.
What?
