2016 was hottest year on record, international report confirms
By Timothy Cama - 08/10/17 01:25 PM EDT
A report compiled by scientists around the world confirmed Thursday that 2016 was the hottest year since tracking began.
The State of the Climate in 2016 report, led by the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with the help of scientists from 60 nations, found that “the major indicators of climate change continued to reflect trends consistent with a warming planet.”
The comprehensive report came days after the New York Times publicized a draft of a separate major climate change report that is awaiting Trump administration approval.
The Times reported that scientists working on that quadrennial report feared that the administration would try to bury some or all of its conclusions, since Trump and much of his Cabinet are skeptical about global warming. The report is congressionally mandated every four years. A final version hasn’t been released, so it remains to be seen if anything will be changed or removed.
According to NOAA, 2016’s heat — the highest in 137 years — came from a combination of a warming trend caused by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and the El Niño weather pattern.
The temperature record had been reported in the beginning of the year by the United States and numerous other counterpart agencies around the world.
But the annual report released Thursday by NOAA and other agencies including the American Meteorological Society documented a series of other alarming statistics and records.

What about next year, and the year after that?
We should all be dead from heat stroke by now, or five years ago....................
Stalinists don’t keep records.
Every day is the beginning of history
Show us the coldest day.
Not here. Not the last three years... They are at it again. They just keep going and going.
no amount of spending will stop the earth from climate change...
we can only go along for the ride... we are not steering the planet.
Must be getting close to grant proposal deadlines for some of these eggheads.
Insanity. They keep doing the same thing over and over hoping the results change.
Snort.
I can trust it if it’s in the Times.(sarcasm).
Coldest summer I can ever remember er this year and last year was far from a scortcher.
This is a very easy achievement! If one is a climate fraudist, has conflict of interest, in charge of keeping the data, personally and politically benefits from the results, then all one has to do to show warming is revise the older data to be colder than it really was and shazam! It is warmer today!
That is exactly what these guys do.
This is the coolest wettest summer I remember in my life.
and the El Niño weather pattern.
The temperature recorders next to the burn barrels, volcanos or airport tarmac?
137 years out of 4.5 Billion years is less than insignificant.
More fake news.
Release the raw data, and let their conclusions be independently verified.
Otherwise....no. It was warm in the Northeast, but nothing we haven’t seen before.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
NOAA really plays games with this statistic, sometimes fudging data down to a hundredth of a degree to claim “hottest.” You might as well write it down now - 2017 will also be the “hottest.”
