2014: The world’s hottest year on record

[trottigy]

The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) released a new report Friday that declared 2014 as the Earth’s warmest year yet. The globally averaged temperature for land and ocean surfaces was the highest among all years since record keeping began in 1880. The average temperature surpassed the previous records in 2005 and 2010 by 0.07 degrees Fahrenheit.

No reasonable person can dispute "global warming". They can try and dispute the cause.

Edit: if you can't see the chart, the big years it changes is .... WW1 or shortly after the industrial revolution.

   While last summer was not as hot locally for us as the previous one, I was impressed with all of the fires out west. As

I watched the news night after night I thought to myself, I have never seen in my life so much problems with forest fires

and drought. And that was only here in the U.S.. As mentioned, despite where you lay the blame for the increase of glo-

bal warming, the fact of it's reality is demonstrated by the regular reports of the nightly news. It is just one more of the

"signs of the times ". Thanks Jerry for this timely information.

What's funny is last summer down here where I live, we had an incredibly mild summer.  I spent 300 less on my electric bills summer 2014 then I have previous years.  Was a good summer last year.
