Last year was the hottest on record for the continental United States, shattering the previous mark set in 1998 by a wide margin, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday.

Well, yeah, it was an election year.

I got attacked on this site for questioning super NOAA before.

If you believe anything from NOAA or any other government agency I have swamp land for sale for you.

Wait, 2010 was just tied with 2005 for hottest year on record:

And they wonder why no one believes the pablum they spew.

But then again NOAA Seems to keep 2 sets of books

Seeing how they are dot gov types, beholden to a lying regime for their very existence, why should we believe them?

Forget global warming - it’s Cycle 25 we need to worry about (and if NASA scientists are right the Thames will be freezing over again)

Met Office releases new figures which show no warming in 15 years

We had less than 2 months of ‘summer’ riding weather.

That’s *all* we’ve had for the last 12 years whereas we used to have at least 4 months.

I call BS.

record-setting cold hits SoCal

Alamosa, Colorado. Here, the temperature plunged to an astonishing low of -33 degrees.

Unusually cold weather helped reduce a gas surplus at the end of December

Sea turtles stunned by the cold treated in N.C.

when all the icecaps melt we’ll all be on NOAA’s ark!!

I’ll bring 2 of every firearm.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

What’s the temperature supposed to be?

[reefdiver]

Not the snow we’ve had in the past in upstate NY. Not as cold, Erie is not freezing either. Hope it’s a cycle.

“Hottest year on record” means something like the last 150 years—when they started keeping record such records.

I call shenanigans ...on the upper plains it was dry, but certainly not hot. I don't recall a single day of 100+ temperatures last summer. Compare this to 1995 when temperatures were well over 100 for most of the summer last year our summer was cool. Admittedly our winter was warmer than usual last year with an unusual 70 degree temp on St. Patrick's Day. NOAA better look at their record books as I believe 1934 was the hottest year on record in the continental US, particularly on the Great Plains.

So what. Alaska had record cold. My garage was the warmest on record. My backyard was so so. Don’t believe anything coming from the SOCIALIST LEFTIES, Boxer, Kerry, Obama, and the rest of this anti american crowd on the CLIMATE CHANGE SCAM. They just want to punish this country which they despise.

[OldMissileer]

I wonder just how they manipulated the data. Also, the placement of most monitoring stations negates accurate data acquisition.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Hottest they say? Look at these for July in Wichita KS.
