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."

    This guy is using only 10 years of a planet that is aged in the billions of years and he calls it a undeniable trend?

    He must have spent way too many years writing BLOG's and not enough time doing his Mathematics homework.

    10 years is not a trend. It isn't even a moment in geologic time.

    Its a pico moment. ;-)
