But, it's winter, so it can't be real ....
2014 was Earth’s hottest year since records began in 1880, according to new analyses from both NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The global average temperature in 2014 was 0.69°C (1.24°F) hotter than the average during the twentieth century, NOAA found. The two agencies each conducted separate analyses of temperature data, based on both satellite and ground readings.
The second hottest year in NOAA’s records was 2010 — an El Niño year — followed by 2005, 1998, and 2007. All ten hottest years have come since 1998.
“If you are younger than 29 years old, you haven’t lived in a month that was cooler than the 20th-century average,” pointed out Marshall Shepherd, a meteorologist at the University of Georgia, in a statement.
