WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal science officials say that for the third time in a decade, the globe sizzled to the hottest year on record.
Both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA calculated that 2014 was the hottest year in 135 years of record-keeping. Earlier, the Japanese weather agency and an independent group out of University of California Berkeley also measured 2014 as the hottest on record.
NOAA said 2014 averaged 58.24 degrees Fahrenheit, 1.24 degrees above the 20th-century average.
NOAA had previously reported that Earth broke heat records in 2010 and 2005.
NOAA also said last month was the hottest December on record. Last year, six months set marks for heat.
Rutgers University’s Jennifer Francis and other climate scientists said this shows global warming continues unabated.

No noticeable flooding yet, so no hurry. And what I mean by noticeable is, whole islands being submerged and coastal US states losing their entire ocean fronts, real estate and all.
That, sad and ignorant as it is, still won’t likely do the trick. The real doofusses like Senator Inhofe will never admit that he is wrong.
There is already ample evidence and scientific concurrence to force wise and sensible people to take immediate action. Instead, we put the biggest dummies in charge in hopes that denial will fix everything I guess?
Ted Cruz will make sure NASA is silenced on the matter going forward.
They lie! Lie, lie, lie.
And how do we know? Because they keep changing their story:
Trust me, NOAA will be changing its story again in the future, claiming that some other year is the hottest. Just wait till I pass my evidence on to a few GOP House members.
But it’s cold outside right now! Doesn’t that disprove NASA?
