Sigh! Another "Hottest Year Evah!" story. Interesting that the more reliable satellite records show that this "Hottest Year Evah!" was 0.2 degrees warmer than the prior "Hottest Year Evah!" which was 1998. 0.02 degrees in 18 years - that's a rate of 0.11 degrees warming per century. OMG, we're all going to die!
