Thanks. First I've heard of it.

I am not sure why so many people thinks this changes anything. Looking at the years in the top ten, one can see that temps have gone up as the century has progressed, suggesting things are getting worse. Of the top ten years, four have been in the past 20 years and three in the past nine years.

Did find this.

Now it’s the 1930s that are heating

Oops. It turns out that 1998 wasn’t the hottest year on record for the US, after all.

Global warming must be working backwards, because NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, having fixed some calculating errors, has discovered that the hottest year was in fact 1934.

That’s not all, as Steve McIntyre explains:

Four of the top 10 are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, 1938 and 1939, while only 3 of the top 10 are from the last 10 years (1998, 2006, 1999). Several years (2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) fell well down the leaderboard, behind even 1900.

The new leader-board of the hottest recorded years in the US:

1934
1998
1921
2006
1931
1999
1953
1990
1938
1939
