http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensiveglaciation. This hypothesis had little support in the scientific community, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s and press reports that did not accurately reflect the full scope of the scientific climate literature, i.e., a larger and faster-growing body of literature projecting future warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.
2014 Hottest Year on Record Amidst Ocean Heat Spikes and Arctic Wildfires According to Japan’s Meteorological Agency, 2014 set new inauspicious marks as the hottest year in the global climate record since measures began in 1891. Temperatures rocketed to 0.27 C above the 1981-2010 average, 0.63 C above the 20th Century average and showed a severe pace of warming of 0.70 C per Century. By comparison, the end of the last ice age featured century scale warming at the rate of 0.04 to 0.05 C every 100 years. So the current rate of warming, according to the JMA measure, is 14-17 times faster. A rapid warm-up driving increasingly severe weather and geophysical changes. (JMA measure shows 2014 was hottest year on record. Image source JMA.) NOAA is also expected to show 2014 as hottest year on record. NASA is likely to show 2014 as 1rst, 2nd or 3rd hottest. 2014, according to JMA, was the first record breaker since the super El Nino year of 1998 with 2014 beating out 1998 by 0.05 degrees C. However, the JMA measure also showed that all ten hottest years on record occurred since 1998. Perhaps more telling is the fact that the JMA measure reveals no hiatus in the pace of global atmospheric temperature increase with all years since 1998 at or above the trend line.
Yes, when you adjust all the temperature data from the 1930s to make the past cooler then you can making sweeping claims about the "hottest year on record". Meantime...

Wow. I just went through the last 10 pages of your posts; that's 200 posts. This is the ONLY subforum you post in; Politics and Religion. This is an investment/trading forum; why don't you hang out on a website that cares about this crap?
Good way to avoid the fact that on the topic of AGW, at least, you are ignorant, deluded and wrong. But I suspect that you are equally deluded ignorant and wrong about other things also. Comes with the package of being a right wing moron.
