That’s right, the warmest year on record is 1934, according to an new analysis of the data from NASA. The Top Twenty Warmest Years in order are:
- 1934
- 1998
- 1921
- 2006
- 1931
- 1999
- 1953
- 1990
- 1938
- 1939
- 1954
- 1987
- 2001
- 1986
- 1946
- 1991
- 2005
- 1933
- 1981
- 1941
This casts still more doubt on the claims that the earth is growing gradually warmer due to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, since 1934 and four of the other Top Ten occurred prior to the 1940s when levels of atmospheric CO2 from industrial production began rising. Only four of the warmest ten years have occurred in the last ten years.
