GENEVA – The warmest year on record is a three-way tie: 2010, 2005 and 1998.
So says the U.N. weather agency, providing further evidence Thursday that the planet is slowly but surely heating up.
Average temperatures globally last year were 0.95 degrees Fahrenheit (0.53 Celsius) higher than the 1961-90 mean that is used for comparison purposes, according to World Meteorological Organization.
Though I think temperatures at times in the northern hemisphere were lower as in freezing and snowstorms caused by a lot of volcanoes going off in Iceland and throughout the northern hemisphere, in total these three years were the hottest humans have ever seen worldwide in recorded history worldwide.
