NASA "What’s worse, the ten warmest years ever recorded have all occurred since 1998" - NASA And none before 1998. 1998 still the hottest year. "Last week NASA and NOAA announced that 2014 topped the list of hottest years ever recorded. Yikes!" - NASA You can look on the chart to see how "warm" 2014 was. It was not. Does this compare favorably with what the media said? How can this be? Why so many records? http://climate.nasa.gov/news/2241/ February 23, 2015 - "The past year was the warmest year on record, though their analysis has 2014 in a virtual tie with 2005 and 2010.

Get out your best crayons, kids, draw that graph! That's how.
