Hotter and Hotter J. Hansen et al., GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (December 18, 2005) World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Statement on the Status of the Global Climate in 2005 (December 15, 2005) Global temperature data covering the meteorological year from December 2004 through November 2005 show 2005 tied with 1998 as the hottest year on record. The year 2005 continues the clear global warming trend of the last several decades by equaling the record warmth of 1998 without a boost from El Nino, which in 1998 added extra heat from the ocean to the earth's surface. The 10 warmest years on record have now all occurred since 1990. ..... I believe El Nino is forecast for 2006- which could mean 2006 will be even warmer than 2005 and 1998. I should have said last 15 years. Mea culpa .............. NOAA 2003 Climate Report National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (January 2004) The most recent data show that 2003 tied 2002 as the second hottest year on record, following 1998. The five hottest years have all occurred since 1997 and the 10 hottest since 1990. Extreme heat waves caused more than 20,000 deaths in Europe and more than 1500 deaths in India during 2003. (and remember- 2005 tied 1998- the hottest year on record- so far)
