largely driven by the increase in carbon dioxide and other human emissions

hmmm this does not sound good.....

how about those sub human emmmisions?

[Paine in the Neck]

Every year from now on will be the Warmest on Record ^® regardless of actual weather conditions.

a trend that is largely driven by the increase in carbon dioxide and other human emissions into the planet's atmosphere, NASA said

Nice to see a speculative conclusion bandied about as truth.

[Ingtar]

How can these people face themselves? They must have killed off their consciences ages ago as they are trying to kill Science now.

But Barack said he'd fix the Erf...

First they take the actual temperature readings, then they find reasons to adjust them. The adjustments are always upward. Voila! More warming.

“Cooking” the books, might one suspect?

I’m struggling to remember that far back, but it seems like we had little or no summer here in SE Michigan.

Is the Water Boiling at the Equator yet ? D’oh

[brownsfan]

Ok, let’s put this in context. The hottest year in recorded history would be the hottest year in the last 134 years. The earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. So, we’re supposed to get into a twist over a year that was nominally warmer than the rest of the years in a sample that is .00000297778% of the total number of years the earth has existed.

We’re doomed.

I have a tendency to disbelieve anything this administration puts out as fact. They lie about everything. Every number that they put out is later revised away from the agenda the original number was trying to push.

The authors of this screed are entitled to their own opinion, or course, but they are NOT entitled to their own facts.

“Warmer”? By whose measure? And where were these “measurements” made, and who made them?

Incomplete facts, unreal conclusion. Where has it EVER been demonstrated that the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere had ANYTHING to do with trapping heat? Now water vapor, that is another story altogether.

[Iron Munro]

They should move their monitoring stations away from the blast furnace exhaust fans.

[Fresh Wind]

Since 1880, when record-keeping began, Earth's average surface temperature has warmed by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit, a trend that is largely driven by the increase in carbon dioxide and other human emissions into the planet's atmosphere, NASA said.

Ted Cruz has his work cut out for him.

[Steely Tom]

They’re building the case for depopulation.

[circlecity]

Interestingly enough, it was also the coldest.

[TexasFreeper2009]

ROFL!

wow they just wont give it up will they?!

Anyone who walked outside last year knows it was MUCH colder than usual the entire year.

But don’t believe your lying eyes! believe the tree hugger who claims to be a scientist who take the temperature measurements and feeds the fake data into a model with a preconceived outcome!

[CMAC51]

Interesting since record cold temperatures were being recorded almost daily last winter all across the northern hemisphere and the antarctic set records for the amount of see ice both for thickness and amount of surface area covered. Houston did not have a 100 degree day all last summer. They must be measuring surface temperature in the Walmart parking lot.

[cuban leaf]

...Earth’s average surface temperature has warmed by about 1.4...

---

Whenever I see these articles claiming it is the warmest on record, I always look for the words “Surface temperature”.

That is one of the most fallacious stats within the science and useless on it’s own for a variety of reasons.

The most accurate measurement...the one least influenced by heat islands, methods of measurement, huge data gaps in desolate areas and oceans...

Satellite Data.

Which has existing for a whopping 35 years.
