Gosport Times: Earth last year wasn?t just the hottest year on record, but it left a century of temperature high marks in its hot dust. According to NOAA, all of the globe's surfaces - our oceans, mountains, deserts, and plains - were about 1.62 Fahrenheit warmer than the average global temperature for the entire 20th century. For context, the only other time that a new record has been greater than the old record by this large a margin was in 1998, officials said. The finding was released by NASA and the National...

onEarth: The ground in the Midwest during a typical winter is cold and dry. But with runners jogging in shorts along Lake Michigan just two days before Christmas, this is no typical winter. In fact, this past December was the hottest ever recorded in the Midwest, and the land in the countrys center was warm and wet. As 2015 (which is expected to be declared the warmest year on record) came to a close, heavy rainfall washed across already saturated ground and went straight into the Mississippi River, which...

Climate Central: Another month, another record. On Monday, NASA released its latest monthly temperature data for the globe. And its perhaps no surprise that this November was the warmest on record for the planet. The Japan Meteorological Agencys dataset also shows the same record warmth for the month. (These stories seem to write themselves, dont they?) November marks the second month in a row the global average temperature was more than 1°C (1.8°F) above the 1951-1980 baseline period NASA uses. October and...

Climate Home: This year is poised to be the warmest in recorded history the World Meteorological Organization said on Wednesday. Man-made climate change and a strengthening El Nino are set to ensure world surface temperatures reach 1C above pre-industrial levels in 2015. 2015 is likely to be the hottest year on record, with ocean surface temperatures at the highest level since measurements began," said Michel Jarraud, head of the Geneva-based agency in a statement. "This is all bad news for the planet."...

2015 will be 'the hottest year on record' but experts predict 2016 will be even warmer

Independent: The slowdown in global warming is likely to end within two years as the Earths climate system undergoes a radical shift that could push temperatures to record highs this year and next, according to the Met Office. The findings will demolish claims by climate sceptics that the slowdown in the rate of global warming over the past 17 years proves that scientists concerns are exaggerated. And it will put further pressure on world leaders to agree strong action to curb carbon emissions at a key UN...
