23rd (out of 116) hottest year

In June, the Huffington Post declared: “NOAA: 2010 Hottest Year on Record So Far.”

This was based on the “average temperature” for the first 5 months of the year, which included a pretty cold January.

From Anthony Watts: “While there’s been a lot of attention given to the recent NOAA and NASA press releases stating that 2010 was tied for the warmest year globally, it didn’t meet that criteria in the USA by a significant margin according the the data directly available to the public from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center.”



It seems pretty cut and dry to me. 2010 was the 94th coldest year out of 116 years — or the 23rd hottest — out of 116.

Given that the “hottest” year was only 2 1/2 degrees above average — and these measurements are suspect as the technology has greatly improved since 1895 — I would say it is too early to tell if there is any trend one way or another.

The third hottest year was 1934.
