Past Decade Was Warmest on Record

[RedEarth]

The last decade was the warmest on record, the World Meteorological Organization said in a report on Thursday. The finding by the association, a United Nations agency, corroborates research by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which has already said that its measurements show that the period from 2000 to 2009 was the warmest since modern instrumental recording of temperatures began in the 1850s.

Global cooling bites the dust: Hottest January followed by second hottest February. Now March is busting out.

Last month, NOAA reported the world experienced the warmest January in both satellite records <1>. And NOAA just reported (here <2>) that it was the second warmest February on record in both satellite records. Now the UAH satellite data shows record-smashing temperatures in the first half of March:

1. In Minnesota, we had no snow in the month of March.

It's going to be 70 degrees tomorrow. This is the first time since 1869 we haven't had snow.
