2014 Was Hottest Year on Earth in Recorded
History
Last year was the hottest in earth’s recorded history, scientists reported on
Friday, underscoring scientific warnings about the risks of runaway emissions
and undermining claims by climate-change contrarians that global warming had
somehow stopped.
Extreme heat blanketed Alaska and much of the western United States last year.
Several European countries set temperature records. And the ocean surface was
unusually warm virtually everywhere except around Antarctica, the scientists
said, providing the energy that fueled damaging Pacific storms.
In the annals of climatology, 2014 now surpasses 2010 as the warmest year in a
global temperature record that stretches back to 1880.
