NASA Confirms 2014 Officially the Hottest Year Ever for Earth on Record

Smart folk back in 1898.

In 1898, Svante Arrhenius became the first scientist to connect global warming and fossil fuel combustion when he proposed a relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperate. According to the technology website Lenntech, Arrhenius calculated that a doubling of carbon dioxide concentration would subsequently lead of a 5 degree temperature rise on Earth. And more strikingly, Arrhenius was far ahead of his time when he and Thomas Chamberlin announced human activities were likely responsible for the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

-------------------------------------------

Still, scientific papers clearly demonstrate that global surface temperatures have risen primarily due to human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. And in research published this week, scientists have found that 2014 was the hottest on Earth since record keeping was first instituted in 1880. According to the New York Times, extreme heat blanketed many parts of the world, including the ocean surfaces (except in Antarctica), which provided the energy needed for last year’s Pacific storms. As Michael H. Frielich, director of Earth sciences at NASA told the Times, “Climate change is perhaps the major challenge of our generation.” It can also have dire consequences for human health.

In contrast to the unusual heat in most areas of the world, parts of the U.S. East recorded below-average temperatures in 2014. However, some scientists believe that such temperatures are an example of extreme weather patterns that are an indirect consequence of global warming.

Since we now have a record - looks like the average temperatures may be on a downswing.

Now I did find this link:
It states in part:
20th century surface temperatures were the warmest of any century in the past 1,000 years. How can scientist actually determine the temperatures for the past 1,000 years?
The rate and duration of warming in the 20th century is greater than in any of the previous nine centuries. see above
The 1990s were the warmest decade in the past 1,000 years. see above
1998 was the warmest year in the past 1,000 years. see above
The 11 warmest years of the past 140 have occurred since 1983, with the warmest years being 1998, 1997, and 1995. Okay - those years were the warmest - which means the temperature has an up and down cycle.
Average global surface temperatures have increased 0.4 to 0.8 degrees Celsius over the past 140 years. 0.4-.08 = about 1.25 F - divide by 140 years = 0.008 per year. Stop and think - is just one degree really a big deal?
Average temperatures for 1900 - 2010

Scientists balk at ‘hottest year’ claims: Ignores Satellites showing 18 Year ‘Pause’ – ‘We are arguing over the significance of hundredths of a degree’ – The ‘Pause’ continues

A "pregnant" pause ?

It was hot but wouldn't say the hottest ever on earth IMHO!

The global warming establishment and the media are crowing about 2014 being the hottest year on record. Marc Morano, founder of ClimateDepot.com, explains how bought-and-paid-for scientists are using skewed data to help further the UN agenda of one-world government.

Reckon it's time to post this again.

The Great Global Warming Swindle Full Movie

Man-made “climate change” is largely a myth promoted by politicians to scare the public into accepting a vast expansion of government to supposedly stop “global warming.”

Global warming is a manufactured problem played up by the government to instigate a public reaction – fear – the government then exploits to offer a predetermined solution: the expansion of government at the public’s expense.

This strategy, now known as the Hegelian Dialectic, has been used successfully by politicians for millennia to expand government, which can only grow at the expense of individual liberties.

I wonder how much of it is from all the hot air you release.
