2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record

Posted by Soulskill on from the maybe-we're-just-really-competitive dept.

The Bad Astronomer writes "Last year was the 9th hottest year out of the past 130, according to NASA and the NOAA. That's no coincidence: nine out of the ten hottest years on record have been since the year 2000. It's long past time to face facts: the Earth is getting hotter, and to deny it is an exercise in fantasy."

    Boo hoo to the farmers. They had their day.. in the middle ages.

    Food comes from the supermarket these days, smartass.

    Global warming is a hoax, just like the science of modern field crops.

    Bah to science, let all stories about global warming get 150+ comments bitching about nothing!
