With records dating back to 1880, the global temperature across the world's land and ocean surfaces for September 2014 was 0.72°C (1.30°F) higher than the 20th century average of 15.0°C (59.0°F), marking the warmest September in the 135-year period of record. The warmth was fairly evenly distributed across the hemispheres, with both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres observing the second highest September temperatures on record. The record highest September temperature in the Northern Hemisphere (beginning of meteorological fall season) occurred in 2005, while the highest September temperature in the Southern Hemisphere (beginning of meteorological spring season) occurred in 1997. With the exception of February, which was the 22nd warmest February in the 135-year period of record, every month to date in 2014 has been among its four warmest on record, with May, June, August, and September all record warm.
Globally, the average land surface temperature was the sixth highest on record for September at 0.89°C (1.60°F) above the 20th century average of 12.0°C (53.6°F). As seen on the temperature percentiles map above, warmer-than-average temperatures were evident over most of the global land surface, except for central Russia and some areas in eastern and northern Canada. Record warmth was notable in much of northwestern Africa, coastal regions of southeastern South America, southwestern Australia, parts of the Middle East, and regions of southeastern Asia. In total, 31 countries and territories from all seven continents around the world had at least one station that reported record warmth. The period of record varies for each reporting station.

it’s easy to make the claim that the current month is the warmest ever, when these climate extortionists simply revise and lower historic temperatures as frequently and as much as necessary to continue their scam.
I think a lot of the readings are satellite after 1979. Some of these figures have been massaged/corrected. So I would not put to much stock in the readings.
A government agency falsifying numbers to justify concentrating more power in the massively corrupt, incompetent, and unaccountable central government. Your tax dollars at work.
“With records dating back to 1880, the global temperature across the world’s land and ocean surfaces....”
LOL! [North] Atlantic multidecal oscillation data goes back to the mid1800s; [north] pacific decadal data goes back to the early 1900s.
There was no data for most of the worlds oceans until the satellite era.
What a bunch of con-men. The GISS land ocean is made up crapola

Think about it ...
Ah, now I understand why the ice caps on both poles are expanding. All the heat is leaving the poles and making a beeline for the thermometers of climate change believers.
Gee - 135 year history. That’s such a long history in the history of earth’s climate - NOT.

Global Warming on Free Republic
I wonder how this will affect the Benghazi hearings? Or the IRS or VA scandals?
