2014: Hottest Year On Record

Layzej writes Data from three major climate-tracking groups agree: The combined land and ocean surface temperatures hit new highs this year, according to the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United Kingdom's Met Office and the World Meteorological Association. If December's figures are at least 0.76 degrees Fahrenheit (0.42 degrees Celsius) higher than the 20th century average, 2014 will beat the warmest years on record, NOAA said this month. The January-through-November period has already been noted as the warmest 11-month period in the past 135 years, according to NOAA's November Global Climate Report. Scientific American reports on five places that will help push 2014 into the global warming record books.

    Do the "science deniers" include the IPCC that spent thousands and thousands of tons of CO2 putting together reasons for why the pause is actually all part of their increasingly inaccurate models?

    More Global Warming propaganda.

    There is no doubt it's getting warmer, it's the claims that man is the cause that I have problem with. No doubt man contributes to it, but Solar activity and earth history going back millions of years indicates this is a normal pattern shift.

    Globalist are just looking for yet another way to steal money from all of us with their "carbon tax" nonsense.

    I remind everybody that under the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, in the U.S. they can only tax forms of INCOME, and anything else is invalid.
