Warmest Year On Record

If you are a Kool-Aid drinker you probably believe 2005 was the warmest year ever. If you are a little better informed, you may know that went out the window and 1998 is the MDI crowds current warmest ever, still.

Did you know NASA has quietly announced the numbers are wrong all around?

NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place. 1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II. Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events
