NASA reports this was the hottest July on record. So we are now in “bet the mortgage” territory that 2015 will be the hottest year in NASA’s 125-year temperature record.
In fact, 2015 is likely to crush the previous record — 2014 — probably by a wide margin, especially since one of the strongest El Niños in 50 years is adding to the strong underlying global warming trend.
[The following graph shows how much the average temperature for each year differed from the average for the base period: 1951-1980. Because of a blogger bug, you will have to click on the graph to see more recent years.]
